With women still pushing to reach the top, they are faced with a range of challenges that many of their male counterparts don’t have an understanding of. Issues like being treated equally, being confident or not speaking up to make their voice heard, prevent many women from achieving their goal of becoming a company leader.
The focus of this program is to bring together a diverse mix of successful women leaders who, through the discussion of topics relevant to today’s issues will educate, inspire and encourage women to reflect on their own goals and status.
Presented by an impressive panel of 3 of Colorado’s Most Respected Women Professionals including:
-
Rachel Benedick, Vice President Sales & Services at VISIT Denver, The Convention & Visitors Bureau
-
Laura Stack, MBA, CSP, CPAE (Speaker Hall of Fame), Award-Winning Productivity Speaker and Bestselling Author: Laura will share Five Things Planners Should STOP and START Doing to Be More Successful in Business and Life
-
