February 28 — Becoming the Woman of Your Destiny
Presented by Kathryn Spitznagle

Every woman has a purpose and a destiny. As you grow and learn, these evolve. This session will provide you with a few tools to remind you of the things you’ve accomplished, the amazing woman you are and the woman you are becoming. Together, we’ll envision the Woman of Your Destiny, identify what pieces of her exist and what pieces we want to develop. Then, we’ll create a plan and steps to get there. Main takeaways include identifying the top 10 things you’ve accomplished or done in your life that make you proud; envisioning the Woman of Your Destiny; and determining what pieces of her exist and how to turn this vision into a reality.

March 7 — Creating Self Confidence
Presented by Asia Bribiesca-Hedin

Leading yourself and others can be difficult even before factoring in a pandemic, staffing shortages, budget reductions and distributed teams. When you add being the FIRST or ONLY and feel out of your comfort zone, it all but guarantees you’ll waste even more time and energy on self-doubt. If second-guessing, playing small or “faking it” get in your way, this session will deliver immediate, actionable results. Main takeaways include a simple formula for making strategic decisions even when you’re feeling out of your element; how to tap into your natural resilience; and the single question to ask yourself and your teams when self-doubt or uncertainty are wreaking havoc.
