June 24, 2026 | Read Time: 2 minutes (Video 18 minutes) | Written by Jenny Kleintop

Happy summer. It’s hard to believe we are already in mid-June, isn’t it? I know I’m feeling the change of schedules and routines. I say it’s a season of change in the Kleintop house. If you are feeling it too, hang in there and reach out anytime if you need an ear to listen or a shoulder to lean on.

For today’s Insight I thought I’d change pace a bit and share a presentation I did last month for WIT, the Women in Tech Conference. I recorded my practice runs to make sure I could watch, adjust, and be ready to present at the conference.
