FRESH IDEAS FROM OUR SPEAKERS
We hope that you came away from the day with fresh ideas — including thoughts from our keynote speakers:
“What are the attributes of leadership? … I used to say that there were two: Courage and resilience — courage to do the right thing under all circumstances, and resilience to carry it through. … I actually now believe that there’s a third — which has something to do with having done business in the United States for nearly five years — and that is the ability to bounce back.”
— Irene Dorner, Group Managing Director, President, and Chief Executive Officer HSBC USA
“You are not in charge of the meaning other people make of your actions.”
— Rita Gunther McGrath, Strategy expert, Author, and Professor, Columbia Business School
“Be passionate; be courageous; be your best.”
— Gabrielle Giffords, former U.S. Congresswoman, and Founder, Americans for Responsible Solutions
INSIGHTS AND FEEDBACK FROM OUR ATTENDEES
The insight, passion, and good humor of all involved was inspiring — and your feedback says it all:
“It was truly an exceptional and impactful event.”
“I took away some good insights and tactics… a very valuable, productive time spent.”
“The energy and enthusiasm of the women there was wonderful. It provided many opportunities for people to reframe and rethink ways of handling themselves and their careers.”
In the weeks since we were together, we hope you’ve found time to reflect on some of your experience — both the ideas from our speakers and your fellow attendees — and that you are taking action.
