Women's Insight Network - Workshop & Luncheon,11/10/17

WIN at Personal Leadership

Plan to attend the WIN: Workshop & Luncheon on Friday, November 10, 2017 at Ridglea Country Club. 

WORKSHOP:

Our panel topic is Overcoming Obstacles. We have an outstanding panel line up this year of four (4) professional women who have overcome various obstacles to obtain work/life balance.  There will be a Q&A session during the workshop.

Overcoming Obstacles Panel:

OVERCOMING:  Gender Bias and preconceived/limiting self-talk

Kate Van Dellen
Pilot, Aerospace Engineer, Entrepreneur—New Trees Education

Only 6% of pilots and only 15% of aerospace engineering graduates are female in the US and Kate has experienced gender biases comments and assignments.  She has methods for confronting sexism where it isn’t a battle, but a discussion. 


OVERCOMING:  Extreme working Mom Challenges

Shunsee Wilson
Marine, Mom, Wife, Child Advocate, and author of “Mommy Wears A Uniform” and “New School Jitters”

Work life balance and the challenges of being a Mom are difficult in corporate America, but being a marine on active duty takes those challenges to a whole new level. 


OVERCOMING:  Single Mom, No Degree--Never say “Its too late” for ANYTHING

Susan Adams, CPA
Single Mom, UNT Graduate, CPA, Partner at Huselton, Morgan, & Maultsby, P.C
 
When you’re a single mother trying to figure out life, sometimes you must take a non-traditional path to get your degree and achieve success in your second career.


OVERCOMING:  Climbing the corporate ladder in a non-traditional industry for female executives along with facing a significant Health Issue.

Karen Burchfield
Assistant Vice President, Coal Marketing BNSF.  BBA Texas Wesleyan University, MS Penn State
 
Working Mom who excelled in a male dominated industry and found ways to challenge the corporate cultures and norms.  After being diagnosed and overcoming a significant health issue, she talks about how she never anticipated an obstacle like this and how important mindset can be in overcoming any obstacle in life.  She has a personal approach to defining success and how you can use that process to overcome anything. 

 


LUNCH:
 
Lunch speaker will be Leadership Keynote Speaker, Work-Life Balance Expert Fawn Germer. It was a long road to center stage for keynote speaker Fawn Germer. After a journalism professor said she’d never get a job doing hard news, Fawn became a nationally acclaimed investigative reporter and was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. Not once or twice but, four times.  When every major publisher rejected her first book, she persevered until it was the No. 1 bestseller that Oprah told the world was “very inspiring.”
This inspiring motivational speaker’s motto is the Japanese Proverb, “Fall down seven times, get up EIGHT.”

If you have not heard Fawn's message, come ready to be inspired. There is no one like her!
