Love seeing Mee Warren, CFA, CAIA, one of our Global Female Investors Network members, on the front cover of the University of Minnesota - Carlson School of Management's Women's Leadership Conference. Nice to see Marcia Page as one of the speakers too! Two of the sessions at the conference that Mee cited as most impactful were on "Failure" and "Disagreement doesn't need to be divisive." In my experience, both "failure" and "learning how to disagree without destroying relationships" are truly part of the successful journey of life and career. Where success isn't defined by an event but rather by grit, tenacity and an inclusive dialogue that enables us to live the life we all deserve. A journey made much less lonely if we can "find our people" along the way. My life's work is helping to bring together like-minded professionals, especially those who find themselves as a minority in the workplace. It's my passion and joy! #diversitymatters #networksmatter #globalfemaleinvestors Career Masterclass
Sarah Oehler said it all and I agree. Many thanks to everyone involved in making this event a success year after year. Dr. Mercedes Ramirez Fernandez and Marci Page delivered invaluable insights. Check them both out especially MPowered Capital. The sessions on 'Failing' and 'Disagreement doesn't have to be Divisive' were revealing in that we need to reframe/rephrase/pivot the conversation. And quite the surprise! I found myself on the cover of the Women's Leadership Conference brochure! Being associated with such a powerful event is such an honor, especially one that's sold out - a testament to our collective dedication to embracing women's leadership and I desire for more. Here's to seizing every opportunity to grow and lead with conviction. #csom #Womeninfinance #womenleaders
