Since then, she has given many high-profile talks, including speaking at the United Nations, Indian International Film Market, Hollywood Women Leadership Panel, and HollyShort Film Festival. She credits her speaking success to her professors in the 糖心Vlog传媒LR Department of Applied Communication. When Dash realized she needed to become the public face for her company, she spent thousands of dollars on speech classes in Los Angeles. However, she said none of them taught her what she learned at 糖心Vlog传媒LR. 鈥淚 am very grateful for the Department of Applied Communications,鈥 she said. 鈥淚 have been getting more speaking engagements than ever before because of them. That is the biggest skill set that I have taken from this school. Everyone gets the same education, but not everyone communicates the same way.鈥 In the upper right photo, Rupa Dash (right) receives the Outstanding Entertainment Entrepreneur award from actress Danielle Mone` Truitt (left) and actor Antwon Tanner (center).听]]> Three from 糖心Vlog传媒LR selected for TEDxMarkhamSt event /news-archive/2016/09/08/tedxmarkhamst/ Thu, 08 Sep 2016 18:59:24 +0000 /news/?p=65098 ...
