Hear from our attendees
Today’s conference has inspired me to take my professional life and leadership back and push myself to be the leader I know I was raised to be.
How can I even begin to tell you all I have gained. I’m feeling empowered, I feel inspired, I feel supported.
I feel inspired and refreshed, ready to reevaluate my own behaviours and experiences at work and in life.
I have to admit that I’ve never thought about being a mentor or sponsor at work, but this event has inspired me to try and do more to support others in my workspace and to try and ensure that everyone feels included.
It was uplifting to hear many of the personal stories of the presenters and the discussion panel. Hearing their experiences helps to motivate me, and helps me to motivate others, to achieve personal and career goals.
The Symposium has reinforced that I need to give myself time and space to think about what I really stand for and what I want to do next. To re-discover my passion.
