This session will tackle Expectations vs. Reality and Taking Risks
“Speak up. Believe in yourself. Take risks.” Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook CFO and author of Lean In. Taking risks is a key component for success in our careers. For many women, putting ourselves out there and taking chances is hard. Yet, without taking risks, we may miss opportunities to grow in our abilities or move into the position or career we want.
During this session, we’ll hear first-hand from Jenny Hosfeld and Jill Rock, two women who have taken risks and in the process, moved forward in attaining their goals. From their stories, you will gain inspiration and insights in how to identify opportunities, overcome imposter syndrome, and make your move.
