Topic - Understanding the CompetitionIn business, knowing your own strengths is essential, but knowing your competition’s strengths and weaknesses can be a game changer.
This session is designed for women in business ready to sharpen their competitive edge.

Most importantly, you’ll discover how to turn that knowledge into smart, confident action that moves your business forward.
