The last couple of years have presented many challenges as well as opportunities. We have pushed in new ways, established new norms, and continue to build resilience. As a result, I felt the need to create this series in 2020. During challenging times, I believe it's important to stay connected, share stories, be a resource to one another, give back and enhance our networks. No power points or formal presentations, but an opportunity to hear personal stories of growth, inspiration and learning, share best practices and spark dialogue on important topics. With that purpose in mind, I am continuing this series on a quarterly basis and invite you to join me in a virtual discussion with several accomplished leaders.

You can view the past panel discussion recordings.

"Amazing!! I can't say enough for the insight - comments - panelists... wow...so grateful that I found these sessions!!!!"

Please register here for my next panel discussion for Q1 in March:

THE GREAT RESIGNATION - March 15th, 8:00 - 9:00 AM
