Skills for leadership.
Chaney created and oversees the Alley Articulated program, which uses theatre skills and arts integration to help business leaders become more effective and dynamic communicators. Chaney has partnered with organizations such as MD Anderson Cancer Center, Texas Children’s Hospital, and the Municipal Bar Association – helping clients advocate for their work lead more effectively.
Access for all.
