WE:LEAD 10th Women’s Business Forum<br />
This year’s <strong>Grove</strong> <strong>City</strong> Area Chamber of<br />
Commerce WE:LEAD Women’s Business<br />
Forum was a huge success as women across<br />
Central Ohio recharged and networked at<br />
the 10th annual event held at the Aladdin<br />
Shrine Center.<br />
Attendees heard from six unique speakers<br />
who spoke on varying themes relating to<br />
confidence, self-awareness, and how we can<br />
reframe challenges and emerge from setbacks<br />
or failures.<br />
•Keynote speaker Misty Johnson (Renewed,<br />
Repurposed, and Restored) dove<br />
deep into her personal past and personal<br />

story to share that there is always redemption<br />
and replenishment following our setbacks.<br />
•Dr. Ellie Scott (Stringtown Vet) engaged<br />
her audience with a Lego building activity<br />
to drive home her points regarding<br />
communication. While hopefully the room<br />
was full of communication masters, the<br />
room wasn’t exactly full of Lego masters!<br />
•Rachel Finney (Columbus Humane)<br />
shared how we can take a different approach<br />
to our “baggage” in life. “Instead of<br />
thinking of your “baggage” as what holds<br />
you down, baggage can be exactly what we<br />

Keynote speaker Misty Johnson delivers her keynote address.<br />
need to show up prepared for our journey.”<br />
•Jen Kelley (My Business Resource)<br />
brought a reframing message in the sense<br />
of reframing shame and failures so that we<br />
can focus on what is within our control and<br />
then move on.<br />
•Christie Engler (Consolidated Employer<br />
Services) shared some do’s and don’ts<br />
of employee management with the goal of a<br />
work environment that protects the business,<br />
but also doesn’t violate the rights of<br />
employees.<br />
•Deanna Stewart (Mount Carmel Foundation)<br />
presented a message rooted in confidence<br />
and care for one’s self–from<br />
listening to your body and mood for health<br />
cues, to seeking out mentors as you strive<br />
for new goals.<br />
This was the first time since 2019 that<br />
the WE:LEAD Forum was held both in-person<br />
and its originally-intended date of mid-<br />
May. That in mind, this was the first ‘true’<br />
WE:LEAD Forum experience for many, but<br />
given the eagerness for 2023, it certainly<br />

won’t be the last.<br />
