Our recent panel event “The Power of Connection: Women Leading with Passion & Purpose” was a tremendous success, and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to connect with such amazing and inspiring panelists.
Stacey DeVore, CEO of Tax Advisory Group, Lisa Frey, Agile Services Manager at Toyota Connected, and Addie Monson, Director of IT at NCH Corporation joined us for the morning to share personal stories about how turning their focus to human connection in their work has led to incredible results for their teams. They discussed everything from empathy and trust building in the workplace to using innovative technologies to facilitate meaningful collaboration.
The event kicked off with an inspiring one-minute video that encapsulated the heart and spirit of what we all strive for – connection. Ultimately it left no doubt that when women come together with passion and purpose, anything is possible. We can’t wait to do this again soon!
