The Leverage Conference for Speakers, Authors, and Entrepreneurs
Event Information
About this Event
Some people believe
- Competition prevents collaboration
- Networking is only valuable in large groups
- Leverage can only happen with well-established businesses
Our desire is to provide a platform for building our own. As world-renowned entertainment mogul, entrepreneur, and philanthropist Tyler Perry once said:
“While you're fighting for a seat at the table, I'll be down in Atlanta building my own. Because what I know for sure is that if I could just build this table, God will prepare it for me in the presence of my enemies.”
Like Tyler Perry, I know where two or more of us are gathered, great and wonderful things will happen.
To that end, the objective of The Leverage Conference for Speakers, Authors, and Entrepreneurs is to empower and encourage women (and some enlightened men) to learn and meet new people through networking, developing collaborative partnerships, and leveraging their talks, books, products, and services.
The Leverage Conference is about creating opportunities. Networking plus collaboration creates and that's LEVERAGE.
