We l c oDear Women m inethe Marketplace,
Welcome to the first annual Faith in the Marketplace Conference! This conference is the first of its kind for women of faith in Orange County. We are women who know what it means to juggle and balance. We are women who strive to do our best at work and outside of work. We are unique and different in every way, yet identical. We are women who thrive in the shoes we wear and on any given day wear many different pairs of shoes. It is our hope, as a committee of women who have planned for over one year, that during this weekend you will be encouraged, laugh, learn and meet other like-minded women who share much in common with you.
Holly Wagner and Laurie Beth Jones, our keynote speakers, have so much in store for us. Their messages transcend all areas of our lives. They will encourage and inspire us to step out in greater confidence everywhere we go. Our breakout sessions will allow you to engage more specifically in an area that is on your heart and mind. Our desire is that you will leave this conference changed. You will leave here confident to step out in who God has made you to be at work, at home and everywhere you go in between. Blessings on your journey,

Holly Wagner Holly Wagner believes it is no accident that you and I are alive and on the earth at this time in history. What an awesome privilege it is. Granted, terror is alive and real on the planet but so are we and the purposes for which we have been placed here. The King of heaven is waiting for women to take their places on the earth; we have a job to do. Proverbs 31:8-9 says it like this: we are to open our mouths for those who can't speak for themselves open our mouths for those who are left defenseless. We are to judge righteously and administer justice. How can we do this if we are not confidently living our life as God's girl on the earth? In God Chicks, Holly encourages women to embrace their God-given roles, such as the Warrior Chick, the Friend Chick, and the Just b.u. Chick. "We are invaluable," says Holly, "and more women need to see themselves this way. We do not have to strive or force our way we just have to confidently walk as we were created daughters of a King."
Holly Wagner Holly Wagner co-pastors Oasis Christian Center in Los Angeles, alongside her husband, Philip, and she oversees the Women’s Ministry of Oasis GodChicks - which has grown beyond the church walls to reach thousands of women each year. Holly is a popular conference speaker known for her challenging, humorous style of addressing real-life issues. She has written several books including, When It Pours and He Reigns. Holly and Philip have been married for over 20 years and have two children.
Laurie Beth Jones Laurie Beth Jones has written several best-selling books, including Jesus CEO; Jesus, Life Coach. Her books have been BusinessWeek and Wall Street Journal bestsellers. Using practical wisdom, bursts of humor, and reality-based thinking, Ms. Jones has become one of the world's leading consultants for businesses that want to take their work-and their workers-to unparalleled levels of performance, satisfaction, and success.
Using Ancient Wisdom for Visionary Leadership is a practical, step-by-step guide to communicating with and motivating people. It is based on the self-mastery, action, and relationship skills that Jesus used to train and motivate his team. It can be applied to any business, service, or endeavor that depends on more than one person to accomplish a goal, and can be implemented by anyone who dares. The secret to team success is elemental. You depend on groups. You depend on the successful outcomes of teamwork. And the keys to productive relationshipswhether in a billion-dollar organization or a family are as basic as fire, water, wind and earth. In The Four Elements of Success, best selling business author Laurie Beth Jones unlocks this ageless wisdom and marries it with a modern personality theory. The result? Powerful new possibilities for collaboration,change, and success. Discover the four elements of success, and you'll also find the secrets for influence and leadership.
