the impact of mentorship for years to come.
"Overall, it was great to be surrounded by women in the business field. It can be intimidating when I am one of a few women in my classes, so it was awesome to hear from experienced women and how they've navigated their careers and how they support other women."
"I absolutely loved the keynote speaker Dr. Sidni. It was a fantastic start to the conference, and I felt like everything she had to say was beneficial to everyone listening. I've already started to think about how I can better improve my life based on what she had to say at the conference."
"I was so inspired by simply being in the same place as many other professional females who are working on improving their own lives and the lives of the people around them! Dr. Sidni was so inspiring; I was truly moved by her message and encouraged by her stories. I genuinely appreciated the luncheon and the ability to connect with a smaller, more intimate group of individuals while also listening to an interesting panel discussion."
"Sidni Shorder's speech on validation and not feeling like an imposter was so inspiring to me. I feel like technical stuff is very important and you'll get hands on training in different jobs, but I loved the aspect of motivation and helping women see their value and potential. How often do we have the opportunity to hear that in person, not just a YouTube TedTalk?"
"The keynote speaker spoke to my heart. Loved learning about being an Entrepreneur!"
"Learning from those in the industry and how they overcame challenges that were relatable. I didn't have a favorite part of the event; I loved it all!"
"Hearing from women in positions of power in the business world and the trials they have overcome is empowering and encouraged me in my pursuits."
