After a few extra days exploring Utah and reflecting on the week, I was reminded why I continue to invest in conferences like Women's Business Enterprise National Council - WBENC.
Every conference leaves me with something new, but this years' experience reinforced three things:
π‘Inspiration β Dawn Staley reminded us that leadership starts with showing up authentically.
π€ Connection β Some of the best moments happened between the sessions, reconnecting with friends, meeting new people, and spending time with communities like Enterprising Women Magazine and Women's Business Enterprise Council Ohio River Valley.
πPerspective β The branded products and thoughtful touches throughout the week were a reminder that the work we do matters. The products we create don't just carry logosβthey support experiences, solve problems, and help people feel cared for.
The knowledge was empowering.
The people were inspiring.
And the products proved their value once again.
Already looking forward to Catch the Wave with WBEC ORV this August. π
