Conference Session Descriptions

Standard Sessions (1 hour)

Becoming a Side Hustle Pro

Is this one thing you’re really good at, but you don’t know what to do with it? With some guidance, you can turn your talent into additional income, possibly even a full-time business. Find out how more women than ever are embracing the entrepreneurial spirit and how you too can create a side hustle from what you’re already good at!

Deep Breath In

“I ate something green today,” is not the pique health statement of the year. True health is based on more than just what goes into your body. It’s about nutrition plus incorporating healthy routines and stress management. Help your mind, body and spirit work together for a healthier, happier you!

Making Your Money Work For You

Are you making more money than you ever have in your life but still in the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle? Are you trying to understand why you’re paying your credit cards on time but your score just isn’t going up? Maybe you’re just trying to figure out how to make more money without taking on another full-time job. Managing your finances can be overwhelming when you don’t know where to start. Learn budgeting skills, how to save money, and figure out the kind of lifestyle that you want to lead AND can afford.

Moving Up and Onward in Your Career

Maybe you know exactly what you want to do and maybe you’re still trying to figure it out. Wherever you are, progressing to the next step can be hard. Find out ways to move forward in your career.

Newbies Guide to Civic Engagement

Do you wake up in the morning with dream-notes like, “Save the world -- Plant 100 trees TOMORROW,” or, “Find out how to get on a board of directors”? As much as we want to change things in our community, we have to take it one day at a time. Learn the ins and outs of making the most out of investing your time into the community and making the maximum impact wherever you go.

Teaming Up with a Mentor

Even though you’re educated, powerful, and strong, some times you don’t have it all figured out. Maybe you’re missing the connections, experience or know-how to get to the next level. That’s what mentors are for! (I know you just sang that in a Dionne Warwick-ish tune.) Finding a mentor is more than emailing everyone in the latest Forty Under Forty list just hoping someone will respond. It takes networking, commitment and intention. Learn from women who have been there before how to team up with a mentor to help you be the best you.
