Uplift Mentorship Expert Session: Earning the Room: Visibility, Credibility, and Access Chrissy Buteas

​Uplift Fireside Chat: Earning the Room with Chrissy Buteas

​Most founders don't walk into the room with a warm intro, a recognizable name, or a track record. This educational session shares Chrissy Buteas's real life experience building her entire career doing exactly that, moving from New Jersey state government into healthcare advocacy, business lobbying, and telecom, before becoming President & CEO of the Healthcare Institute of New Jersey (HINJ). Every move meant a new room, new stakeholders, and no built-in credibility to start.

​Candid fireside chat on what it actually takes to earn trust, access, and visibility, especially when you're starting from zero.

​We'll cover:

• ​How to build credibility fast when you're the newcomer in the room

• ​Adjusting your message for different audiences without losing the mission

• ​Handling skepticism or pushback while still moving your case forward

• ​Why visibility, speaking up, writing publicly, showing your work, can be its own kind of currency for founders building in public

​A live learning session with a subject matter expert in entrepreneurship, technology, or business leadership. Includes open Q&A.
