NAFE Twin Cities Women’s Leadership Summit 2019
The Twin Cities has created a uniquely successful business landscape, bringing together the seat of the state government, education, healthcare and 20 Fortune 500 companies. This also brings top talent into the market. What’s going to get the best women to those top leadership positions?
It certainly isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach, but a combination of factors, skills and work to realize and harness opportunities. The right combination varies for each woman, but at the core, authenticity, resilience, a strong voice are what’s needed for women to excel. These leadership traits allow women to regain their power, and strive for what’s beyond their current roles.
At the NAFE Twin Cities Women’s Leadership Summit, our Vice President of Client Value, Missy Chicre, moderated the executive panel.
