About Shanna Kuzdzal
Shanna Kuzdzal, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer at Cadence Bank, has been speaking about her approach to professional networking and conference speaking. In a 2020 appearance titled "Shanna K. Energize, Engage and Elevate," Kuzdzal stated that she focuses on making audiences connect with each other, describing it as "not about just sitting down and taking notes but about getting to know each other." She said she aims to help attendees "create strategic partners and actually leave with some business and knowledge after the event." Kuzdzal explained that her motivation for this work stems from having "felt very disconnected" and "like I didn't fit in" for a long time. She said she now "connect[s] women with their teams, their peers and themselves" to help them achieve "stronger teams, lasting relationships and higher sales." Kuzdzal described her speaking style as creating "an environment that is high energy — fun, full of noise, laughter, hands-on and engaging" where women "come together as complete strangers and leave as friends, referral sources and business partners."
