Unrivaled Connections and the Opportunity to Build Your Brand

Monica Molina Austin will lead a discussion titled “What is Your Thinking…Style?” where she will challenge you to identify the type of thinker you are. “Tapping Your Talent: Eliminating Self-Imposed Barriers” with Dani Monroe will talk about persevering in the face of adversity and getting rid of whatever is holding you back from your accomplishments. You will learn how to “Embrace the ‘Yay’ Sayers” with Georgianna Melendez and how to surround yourself with people who want to see you succeed. With each and every one of these sessions, you will be encouraged to go forth and be the outstanding leader that you are meant to be.
