June Women's Leadership Luncheon: What Success Looks Like Behind the Scenes
Advertisement
“I want more people to hear her story.”
That's exactly how I feel about Corey Lakins, and I'm so excited to welcome her as our special guest at this summer's Women's Leadership Luncheon on Friday, June 26.
This is not a formal keynote or a polished “success story.”
It's an honest, uplifting conversation about what life and leadership really look like behind the scenes.
-The unexpected pivots.
-The difficult seasons.
-The moments that test your confidence.
-The choices that shape who you become.
And yes... the resilience it takes to keep moving forward anyway.
Corey has a powerful story, and I think many women in this room will see pieces of themselves in her journey.
We'll also talk about friendship, support systems, reinvention, leadership, and the realities we've faced while building careers, businesses, families, and meaningful lives.
And if you've attended one of our luncheons before, you already know:
the networking portion is always something special.
This isn't the kind of event where people awkwardly exchange business cards and leave.
Women genuinely connect here.
You'll meet thoughtful, supportive, interesting women from all different backgrounds and industries, and chances are high you'll leave feeling inspired, encouraged, and very glad you came.
