Curated by Diverse & Engaged
Since 2014, we have created a space for high-level, high-ranking, and high-profile women who are corporate insiders, influencers, and game changers to take a timeout from their demanding schedules and competing priorities to focus on themselves. Work is calling you to bring your best self and this session supports you in focusing on your whole self — as a corporate leader, business leader, elected or appointed leader, community leader, or a leader of your bloodline. This forum over brunch is a custom-curated mid-year exercise for high-performance leaders to hold the space for YOU.
Because…
It’s not about the work, it’s about YOU.
It’s about the next best iteration of YOU.
It’s about your big hairy audacious goals.
It’s about where you see yourself last.
It’s about building the brand on the inside of YOU.
It’s about taking a time-out from work to level set for life.
It’s about allowing space to reset for the remainder of the year.
It’s about re-evaluating and recalibrating your life.
It’s about addressing your whole self so you can bring your best self back to work.
Whether you are successful but unhappy, successful but unfulfilled, or successful but in transition, THIS IS FOR YOU.
This year’s focus is on your health, your wealth, your next level, and your legacy.
