She also facilitates strategy sessions, retreats and thought leadership development sessions for corporations and associations. Her expertise has been featured in major media outlets, including Inc.com, Salesforce.com and Monster.com.
In May 2014, Denise was honored by the Silicon Valley Business Journal as among their Top 100 Women of Influence.
