Earlier this week, CEO Vince DiPofi presented at St. Francis de Sales School’s Global Salesian Leadership Symposium. A former Knight, Vince’s workshop, “Building Your Personal Brand with Intent,” was presented to juniors and seniors who had numerous workshops to choose from—all facilitated by prominent Toledo-area leaders.
