Hear from our attendees
So much in the day - I leave with a full heart and sincere gratitude.
The Symposium gave me renewed motivation to continue learning and challenging myself personally and professionally.
This event has provided insight into some of the challenges, and methods of overcoming them, that many women face in their careers. It has provided me with a sense of support going forward.
I needed a recharge, and the Symposium really recharged me. I have a renewed commitment to pursuing career development congruent with my values.
This Symposium activated my senses in ways that were truly motivating, There was so much honesty, authenticity, and positive encouragement. I have been to lots of conferences and professional development around women in leadership, but I have never felt so completely engaged for the whole time.
Exceeded my expectations – loved the power in using stories to illustrate leadership and growth principles.
