BComm Spotlight

When Lily Francis is presenting a case in competition, something clicks into place, and suddenly it’s just her and the judges. She isn’t thinking about the hours of practice and case preparation; she isn’t worried about being “too much” (a holdover from a lifetime of being a big talker); she isn’t fixated on the ideas that didn’t make the cut; and she isn’t second-guessing her delivery. No, as Francis puts it, when she is presenting, everything else goes away.
