Women in Business: Bridging the Gap between Career Achievements and Personal Fulfillment
2024-05-21 18:00 - 21:00 (Asia/Dubai) | Mentimeter HQ, 500 King Street West, Toronto, 500 King Street West, Toronto, Ontario, M5V 1L9., Canada
It is no secret work and life can be hard to balance for us women. We are often wearing many hats and in addition to our full-time job, we are still managing our homes, kids, (and sometimes even our spouses) simultaneously. All this while being expected to maintain the same efficiency at work as our male counterparts. These responsibilities are lopsided and leave us women at a disadvantage.
We have two Keynote speakers at this event. Ingrid J. Monday and Ylva-Kristina Osterman.
Ingrid J. Monday, aka Miz Monday,” is a bustling entrepreneur juggling numerous projects while caring for her young family. She’ll reveal her secrets to maintaining balance amidst the chaos.
Ylva-Kristina Osterman, will share her incredible story and how she managed to have a highly successful international career while also being a single mother and raising her children on her own, as a sole provider. She will teach us a quick meditation we can do when we are feeling overwhelmed.
Come share and discuss how and if we can manage it all.
We want to hear about your best tips and tricks. How do you get it all done and keep your sanity?
This networking event is YOUR event. Please feel free to bring business cards, brochures, a flyer with a ‘special offering’ or similar that you want to share with the group.
