What an incredible evening together with the Healthcare Businesswomen's Association (HBA) Atlanta Chapter hosted at EY! It was a transformative evening led by an incredible leader in the field of coaching, healthcare, and empowerment Nami Jagtiani. Through Nami's program, we explored the strength in vulnerability, embracing risk and learning the strength of getting out of your comfort zone. As the workshop concluded, it was clear how meaningful the experience had been for everyone and how powerful it will be to embrace vulnerability as leaders and human beings moving forward. #HBAATL #HBAImpact #EY #Leadership #Development Nami Jagtiani, Coline Samat, Helen Motamen, Shelby C.
