WAG’s Beth Stiller to discuss earning ‘share of heart’ at upcoming thought leadership event

DENVER — Did you know that your personal leadership story matters? To shed light on why diversity of thought, self-evaluation and personalizing your own story is the only way to true leadership effectiveness, Walgreens’ Beth Stiller will take the stage as a speaker during the upcoming thought leadership event to be hosted by Drug Store News and the Mack Elevation Forum on Aug. 21.



Stiller, who serves as Walgreens’ group VP, retail brands and global sourcing, will share why earning “share of heart” with your team is the heart of team cohesiveness and a healthy culture. Deep listening, empathy, trust and collaboration are the currency of the new economy.



This powerful event will start a day before the opening of the NACDS Total Store Expo and will challenge attendees to think differently about brand building, breaking through to today’s consumer, why “share of heart” matters in the currency of the new economy, how mobile and social are changing the rules, and what’s next in a totally connected, global retail world.



Additional speakers include —



•  Meg Columbia-Walsh, global lead of digital innovation and marketing excellence at Ernst & Young;

•  Bryan Gildenberg, chief knowledge officer at Kantar Retail;

•  Ryan Olohan, head of health care at  Google;

•  Karuna Rawal, EVP business lead at Arc/Leo Burnett Group;
