"Building the Love Into Your Business" with Emily Cohen

Join us for our 3rd speaker event of our 2026-27 season, "Building the Love Into Your Business" with Emily Cohen, Founder & Partner at Casa Davka.

Presentation Overview:
Love? In Business? Yes! If your business is lovable, clients and employees will run toward you with the best projects and great referrals, possibly even arms full of chocolates and roses. But love isn’t a box full of beautifully packaged chocolates or fine wine. It’s not a fun poster or even a unique giveaway. It’s less tangible and something you give your clients and staff all year. In this inspiring talk, you’ll learn why infusing love across all aspects of your business is essential to your long-term success and the top strategies we have curated for building and sharing the love.
