"Women Unlimited Now" Forum is about
empowering women in business to be proactive in their
communities and around the world.
Come listen and be inspired by the panel of accomplished
women, how they managed to break through societal
business norms and succeed at what seemed impossible to
others, but not to them.
The intended outcome of the forum is:
-To have you leave with inspired action.
-Give you the tools to grow your business.
-Give you balance to be even more inspired by your passion.
-The exponential impact of giving back and the
empowerment of contribution.
- Improve communication skills and create innovative
leadership.
-Empowered to thrive and grow in business by eliminating
the limitations of the past.
-Getting rid of the myths and obstacles that society dictates,
which in no way should limit us.
-There is no more argument of the power women have in
this economy!
