EmpowHER 2023

EmpowHER - A Day For Women The EmpowHER event began in 2019 to celebrate International Women's Day and to empower women leaders in business. This annual event was held on March 3rd of this year, and was sold out. It's a great opportunity for networking, empowerment, self searching, and finding support. With lunch, exercises, and reflections, we also had the following three speakers present at our event. Here are some highlighted quotes from their presentations:

Karen Carter- Owner of the Power of How 11.1 "Rerouting...to Reach Your Dreams"

"Being present in that moment is how we collect the gifts and the knowledge and the wisdom that we need to get to the next destination. But to do that, we have to be present."

"Gift of humility makes us vulnerable enough to ask for help. In humbleness we are all the same."

"We have to let go of our expectations of life, and look at reality. And realize what we are going to do with it."

Dr. Cassie Barlow-President , Strategic Ohio Council for Higher Education " The Leader Within"

"Know ourselves first, before we can help other "

When discussing being an example for younger women/generations: "We need to let them follow, walk, and takeover our footsteps [ ] "Mentor them, and pull the up, so they can lead our world to some really cool places in the future."

"We have to be able to laugh at ourselves [ ] be humble enough "

Liz Ferro- Founder & CEO, Girls with Sole "Power Principles"

"Anger will burn you out"

When speaking about participating in something physical like sports: "It make you realize you can save yourself." [...] "Problems won't disappear, but it makes it easier to deal with". [....] "You can tap into things that can't be taken from you No one can do it for you."

"There's so much wisdom to be made from your mess-ups "

"You cant wave a victory flag and victim flag at the same time."
