a word from our sponsor
 

It's OK to take risks.

 

I hope you had the opportunity to join us for our Women Empowered kickoff. Thank you for all the wonderful feedback.

In her keynote, Dr. Bishop left us with some valuable advice: "There are lots of ways to be successful, set goals, be confident, and do something everyday to be stronger and better at what you do."

"It’s OK to take risks; it’s OK to change your mind, to go on a career path you never thought you would take. Take advantage of opportunities as they come along. Get your resumes in order, get the skills, get the knowledge and get the experience that you need. Work hard, don’t whine, and be willing to take risks, be willing to say yes, develop communication skills that work with teams because teamwork is where it is. A world of opportunity awaits. It’s never too late.”

If you missed our kickoff event, another opportunity is on the horizon. Our next event is June 12, featuring the wonderful Aundrea Wilcox, KOSBE Executive Director, SBDC Business Counselor and Author. Seating is limited, so register today.

I hope you enjoy this inaugural edition of WE/Connect, our member newsletter. We'll continue to make improvements and add features, and if you have ideas, I'd love to hear them. Send me an email anytime.

My best to you,
Jan
