  Speaker: Mari Wuellner, Living on Purpose Coaching

  Topic: Permission Granted: Reclaiming Your Power in Business and Beyond

  In this inspiring presentation, we explore how women in business often wait for external validation before pursuing their goals, dreams, and setting boundaries. Through personal stories and practical insights, we uncover the transformative power of writing our own permission slips. The presentation delves into five essential permissions women must grant themselves: the permission to say no, the permission to be afraid, the permission to reach for more, the permission to change, and the permission to quit. Each theme is illustrated through real-world experiences that demonstrate how self-authorization is the key to authentic success.

  

  PLEASE NOTE: A boxed lunch *is not* included in the base ticket price: During registration, you will have the option to purchase a boxed lunch for $15, provided by Gourmondo. The base ticket price includes beverages.

  Deadline: Registrations that include a box lunch order will close end of day on Tuesday, October 21st.
