Join us for connecting and a no-filter conversation with Danaya Wilson — Co-founder & CEO of BetterCertify, speaker, and best-selling author of Changemakers Wanted: Your Blueprint for Lasting Impact and Ethical Change.
We'll get into life, leadership in a male-dominated field, and Danaya's challenge to women leaders: stop leaning in, start rising up, and take bold action to build workplaces that actually work for everyone. Whether you're leading in a corporate office, a nonprofit, or a company of your own, this is a conversation you don't want to sit out.
Coffee and light snacks to be provided.
What you'll walk away with:
- Curated and intentional connections with other women leaders
- Honest insight into leading boldly
- A full cup of coffee (or your beverage of choice) and a full sense of community
