The NAWBO Greater Philadelphia 2017 Leadership Conference will consist of networking, panels, and breakout sessions all focused on LEARNING from women who have shattered the proverbial glass in their varied industries and lines of business as well as EMPOWERING women TO CONTINUE shattering the glass and making the difference only women can in our world.

Panel #1: How Winning Women Are Shattering the Glass

This opening panel is comprised of “winning women” who will discuss how they got to where they are today. While they are more than trailblazers in Philadelphia, they will discuss hard decisions, what keeps them up at night, what they are most proud of accomplishing, in what way new generations of trailblazers will shatter the glass.

Panel #2: Keeping up with the Legal Landscape as a Woman Business Owner

The legal landscape is changing with this new administration and it’s a challenge for small business owners to stay informed about new developments.

In the spirit of the NAWBO sisterhood, three attorneys who are in the trenches daily will collaborate to present information about common legal trends impacting small business. “Employees vs. Independent Contractors,” “New Legal Developments for 2017,” and “Cell Phones, Social Media and Overtime,” will be among the topics covered.

Winning at Local Search: A Do-It-Yourself Plan to Get Found Online

Presented by Kim Landry, Hollister Creative

To win at local search, you need a big digital footprint. The more monstrous, the better. We’re talking Bigfoot big. But how can you develop a big footprint if you can’t afford to pay an expert to do it for you? The answer is simple: Do it yourself. In this presentation, you will learn how. Participants will gain an understanding of local search and how it relates to other aspects of digital marketing. We will send them a copy of the PowerPoint to use as a reminder of what to do and how.

 

 

Living a Quality Life: Declaring Your True Priorities

Presented by Bobbi-Jo Brighton, Boldful.Life – Women’s Mental Toughness

Are you running your life—or is your life running you? Ever felt like you just can’t stay on top everything, and you’re not even sure what “everything” should be? Do you feel pulled in so many different directions between your business and home that you feel like you’re taking one step forward, two steps back? If you answered “yes” to any of those questions, you’re in good company. Time to get off the treadmill and set your own destination.

 

 

Getting Your Social Media “Off the Ground”

Presented by Cassandra Bailey, Slice Communications

“Social Media” is a topic that is on many business owners’ lips. However, the challenges of developing and executing a social media effort that makes a difference for a business can be daunting. It can seem almost as hard as launching a satellite. The truth is that social media should not be a literal or figurative satellite. It should not live in its own orbit disconnected from anything back here on earth. Instead it should be a coordinating media, meaning that it should support all a company’s marketing, business development, recruiting, and strategic efforts. When thought about this way, social media becomes more of a strategic priority and less of a big project hard to get off the ground.

 

 

Living an Organized Life: Keys to organization in your home, work and life.

Presented by Janet Taylor, Totally Organized, LLC

Are you tired of looking at the piles on your desk, in your home or your cluttered closet? Do you dream of the day when you can have a smooth morning routine? Learn how to finally be free of clutter, gain strategies to get 1-4 hours extra each day and discover techniques to having a smooth morning routine.

 

 

Evolve Into An Unstoppable Intuitive Leader

Presented by Terry Wildemann, Intuitive Leadership

In the workplace, practical systems are necessary to serve the client and for profit and gain. However, a lack of understanding of oneself, and how to motivate those who implement those systems, can contribute to workplace chaos. How does one improve themselves and mentor, coach and lead from a place of coherent understanding of oneself and others? This workshop will share how focusing on self, understanding the power of words, intuition and how we create our results, affects decision making, communications, creativity, interactions, stress resiliency and more regardless of your position or the industry you work in.
