Professional Development for Busy Women: The CliffsNotes!
There is a plethora of literature out there, but who has time to read it all? Between work and family commitments, most of us can’t stay awake to read for more than a few minutes at night. No worries! We’ve done the hard work for you!
You’ll hear from four speakers, each of whom will deliver a high-level summary of the key points from a professional development book that they personally found to be helpful, inspiring and educational. Now is a good time to invest in improving your skills in leadership, communication, innovation, time management, productivity, and mindset! Now available in-person or virtual. Moderated by Amanda Koehler, CPA | CFO, MOCPA
