I recently started a small consulting business. Having the opportunity to meet some of these leading women would be inspiring personally and could lead to a working partnership professionally!
As new business owner, it’d be great to get insight and mentorship, as a woman new to the small business arena.
I’ve always grown up the oldest of my cousins and siblings and prided myself on finding my way up the ladder in my field. I would love the opportunity to immerse myself with such like-minded, career oriented, and successful women so that I may also become a mentor to future female all stars.
I’ve been in Portland over a year and still haven’t found a full time job. I’d love to get some guidance!
Wo-man! Would I ever love this charge of enthusiasm to do more!
This would be an amazing event to attend.
Looking to switch careers, this would help.
I’d like to meet like minded successful and driven woman in their careers! I’m excited about making new connections and being inspired!
I would love to attend.
getting back in the marketplace after raising kids and could use some updated advice – thanks
Hello,
I am helping coordinate a soeed mentoring event in work and would love to attend & learn & see one first hand!
Thanks
I just stumbled across this now I think it was purposeful. I’m newly certified as a wellness life coach. My journey with ovarian cancer 7 years ago led me down this new path of empowering women to live there best life in wellness and achieving your hopes and dreams. It would be an honor to attend this incredible event.
I’d love to pick the brain of successful businesswomen. One of my New Year’s themes is professional development and this event would definitely help me reach my goals.
I’m unemployed and trying hard to next level my consulting business! Would love some mentoring.
What an amazing opportunity! Looking to connect with other women in business in Portland.
Sounds like a great opportunity!
I just started a clothing/accessory line and would LOVE guidance, advice, and mentoring from these extremely intelligent and accomplished women.
This would be an amazing opportunity for me-having sold my business back in CO & Moving back home to Portland, after being gone for 20yrs. Starting fresh in a new city-with tons of competition, has been hard. It would be good for me to find some networking & mentoring through this event. Thanks so much!!
I find it so inspiring and motivating to hear from successful women in the workforce.
I would love this opportunity to network and receive mentorship.
My friend would love to go to this but can’t afford to!
I’ve recently started a small flooring business. As a woman in a very male field I soak up every bit of advice from women, this would be a fantastic assist in the future of a woman owned business.
I could and would learn so much at this event!
I would love to attend as I am a global manager in a mostly male run company! I think the networking experience would be really beneficial!
I’m going to be 70 in June! I’m not giving up on my business plan but sure wish I had some good minds to give me a little boost! Hubby left , kids are grown.. I’m ready!
Thank you , Valerie
I would love to attend this.
Wow, what an amazing event!
<3 I definitely need the support of these women. Wishing to win!!!!!
Yes !
These type of events inspire me to strive for greatness and know.my self worth. I love hearing from other successful people!
Not for me but my wife would love this!
would love to attend
This sounds like a great inspiration.
Our Salon/Spa could use this course to keep our Stamina going as a business, as well as learning new marketing strategies for the new stylists
I’m very interested in learning more about success in the business world.
I am in dire need of mentorship and networking.
I have recently decided to enter back into the work force after taking a couple of years off. This would be extremely helpful to get my name back out into the arena . As a woman that typically works in a male dominated field (transportation management), having female mentors would be very helpful.
