Outrage is rewarded\, division is profitable\, and for brands and leaders\, it can feel like the only way to be heard is to shout. \nBut what if we chose something better? \nAt the Social Media Breakfast\, author\, speaker and consultant to the C-Suite Denise Hamilton will guide us through how to lead with clarity—and humanity—when algorithms incentivize the opposite. \nThe C-suite turns to Denise for guidance on how to dial down rhetoric\, both inside organizations and out. She’s advised Fortune 500 companies\, spoken on national stages\, and built a reputation for helping leaders navigate tough conversations with courage and purpose. \nYou’ll walk away with these key takeaways: \n\nClarity on how social algorithms amplify outrage—and how to disrupt the cycle\nWhy anger spreads faster than truth (and how to respond wisely)\nHow online discourse gets hijacked—and how to stay grounded\nTools to talk with people you disagree with—without triggering backlash\nWays to show up with intention in your business’s public voice\n\n \nRSVP today! Let’s shape the kind of feed—and future—that protects your brand and lowers the temperature. \n \nSPEAKER \nDenise Hamilton is an internationally recognized author\, speaker\, and consultant dedicated to helping leaders foster authentic connections in an ever-evolving world. Whether navigating the challenges of remote work\, integrating AI into workplaces\, or embracing a more diverse workforce\, Denise champions the human side of transformation. A firm believer in our collective potential to create solutions rather than dwell on problems\, Denise brings a uniquely optimistic and practical approach to even the most difficult conversations. Her ability to inspire trust and guide discussions toward actionable outcomes has become her hallmark\, empowering leaders to cultivate teams that thrive in complex\, fast-changing environments. Denise’s insights on building stronger\, more connected workplaces have been featured in MIT Sloan Management Review\, NPR\, Harvard Business Review\, Bloomberg\, MSNBC’s Morning Joe\, and Newsweek. Her debut book\, Indivisible\, explores how shared purpose and collaboration can help us bridge divides and build a stronger future together. Denise lives in Houston\, TX\, where she continues to inspire leaders and organizations to prioritize people and purpose.
