MANAGING THE TURBULENCE: COURSE CORRECTION, CHANGING ALTITUDE<br />
One of <strong>the</strong> most important, and sometimes most difficult, decisions in our lives is determining what<br />
career path <strong>to</strong> choose. Many of us will have several careers in our lifetime: sometimes working for<br />
o<strong>the</strong>rs, sometimes working for ourselves, and sometimes working as volunteers. Many will retire and<br />
<strong>the</strong>n seek an encore career. Our panel will share how <strong>to</strong> reinvent yourself and still keep your place in<br />
<strong>the</strong> community. We will tap in<strong>to</strong> how <strong>to</strong> manage <strong>the</strong> turbulence; how <strong>to</strong> identify opportunities for course<br />
correction and share strategies on how <strong>to</strong> do this gracefully and successfully.<br />

MISSION CONTROL TO <strong>WLP</strong>: WE HAVE LIFT OFF<br />
Consider <strong>the</strong> impact of <strong>the</strong> legacy of philanthropy throughout generations. Whe<strong>the</strong>r our grandparents or<br />
parents charted our course of giving by <strong>the</strong>ir example or whe<strong>the</strong>r we initiate <strong>the</strong> mission and <strong>the</strong> journey<br />
ourselves, <strong>the</strong> desire <strong>to</strong> make a difference is an inherent part of many people’s DNA, especially women.<br />
Our panel will share <strong>the</strong>ir journey of paying it forward, <strong>the</strong> role that support from family has played in<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir philanthropic journey, and how outside influences such as peers, teachers, and <strong>the</strong>ir community<br />
empowered <strong>the</strong>m <strong>to</strong> lift off and chart <strong>the</strong>ir own course <strong>to</strong> a life of impactful, fulfilling giving.<br />

SOARING TO NEW HEIGHTS IN EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP<br />
Today’s environment demands innovation, global perspective,<br />
collaboration and growth. Why do some individuals or organizations SPONSORED BY:<br />
create and sustain positive momentum in leading strategic change while<br />
o<strong>the</strong>rs make a great start but fail <strong>to</strong> execute? There is no one clear path<br />
<strong>to</strong> reach your goals, both personally and professionally-sometimes it is<br />
about taking a step back in order <strong>to</strong> move forward in your career. Our<br />
panel will share <strong>the</strong>ir experience and address<br />
strategies for you <strong>to</strong> advance your career.<br />

UP, UP AND AWAY: THE POWER OF MENTORING<br />
Men<strong>to</strong>ring has become a very hot <strong>to</strong>pic in professional development. While<br />
some women are comfortable reaching out and asking for men<strong>to</strong>rship,<br />
o<strong>the</strong>rs are not quite sure where <strong>to</strong> start or what <strong>the</strong> benefits of men<strong>to</strong>ring<br />
might be. Join us for a panel discussion on why men<strong>to</strong>ring is important,<br />
and how <strong>to</strong> select a men<strong>to</strong>r, and how <strong>to</strong> men<strong>to</strong>r someone. For those who<br />
have been men<strong>to</strong>red, have you considered when it is time <strong>to</strong> take <strong>the</strong> next<br />
step <strong>to</strong> become a men<strong>to</strong>r yourself? When you decided, how do you make<br />
that transition?The panel will also elaborate on <strong>the</strong> benefits a corporate<br />
SPONSORED BY:<br />
men<strong>to</strong>ring program can offer <strong>to</strong> both <strong>the</strong> ROI of <strong>the</strong> company and for <strong>the</strong> morale of <strong>the</strong> employees. Most<br />
importantly, you’ll be challenged <strong>to</strong> think about how men<strong>to</strong>ring is a two way street where <strong>the</strong> men<strong>to</strong>r<br />
and mentee are able <strong>to</strong> learn from each o<strong>the</strong>r and grow <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r. Take a fresh look at men<strong>to</strong>ring.<br />

CHART YOUR COURSE TO GOOD HEALTH<br />
Many of us have so many responsibilities in life that we forget <strong>to</strong> take SPONSORED BY:<br />
care of ourselves. With all <strong>the</strong> demands of family and work, many women<br />
do not make <strong>the</strong>ir own health a priority, yet we book our kids’ annual<br />
physicals a year in advance or drive our parents <strong>to</strong> and from <strong>the</strong>ir doc<strong>to</strong>rs’<br />
appointments. While it’s hard <strong>to</strong> prioritize, self-care is an important aspect<br />
of stress management. This panel will discuss <strong>the</strong> importance of taking<br />
control of your health as well as share some of <strong>the</strong> recent technological advances that will influence you.<br />
We will discuss solutions that affect all ages and share strategies <strong>to</strong> help women overcome some of <strong>the</strong><br />
common barriers <strong>to</strong> self-care, such as time, money and motivation.<br />
