ILLUMINATING WOMEN CONFERENCE 2020
|
|
|
THE ILLUMINATING WOMEN 2020 VIRTUAL CONFERENCE: BUILDING BRIDGES FOR A BOLDER & BRAVER FUTURE WAS A HUGE SUCCESS!!!!
Back in March, four days before we were to host our 4th conference, I met with my business coach and advisory circle to make the very difficult decision to postpone the conference due to our validated concern for everyone's health and safety. This was like hitting a wall on takeoff in a Dreamliner jet. The time, energy, and lost expenses were overwhelming, yet I was determined to somehow, someway, keep with my mission and vision to bring quality educational information so that women could continue to elevate their personal growth and professional success. I am so grateful I did, we had a great turn out, fun networking, and very valuable content being served graciously by our amazing speakers.
This huge undertaking could never have happened without all of you. Thank you so much for sharing this event on your social media and other communications, and for attending and participating in the event. Be sure to come to our GNO on October 16th where we will recap and connect sharing the lessons learned.
If you have not yet, please fill out the survey about the conference. Your feedback is wanted and needed to help with future planning: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScfodQz_5cJn9dRvEtx_a1Ml8FxgQGyuOBrJCKsguBwD91Mhw/viewform?usp=pp_url
Please help me shout out and thank the following women who without them this conference would have never been so successful:
To My Wing Women...
*Sharon North of North Professionals and our I.W. Admin. This lady rocks and makes me look (and feel) fabulous. Everyone needs and deserves a Sharon North.
*Nicole Lux-Ritchie with Luxcentric.com. This professional Tech Lady dove deep gave so much of her time helping me set our platform up including all communications, helping our attendees and vendors and sponsors, and being that fun gal popping in and out of our workshop rooms making sure all was going well. Special thanks to her "Tina" for her assistance.
*Beata Jachulski Baker, Emcee Extraordinaire for doing an outstanding job even through all our technical glitches and still carrying on. For being at our early morning meetings, texts that were flying back and forth, and for setting the tone and rhythm navigating through a completely new way of leading a conference. Your participation was critical in how well all flowed from our attendees to speakers for the ultimate positive experience.
All our Speakers, you ladies knocked it out of the ballpark providing above and beyond my expectations invaluable content, tools, tips, education, encouragement, support, and empowerment.
* Special recognition to Sharon Hockenbury, Friday night and our breaks....sister you rock!
*Lisa Fischer, Brenda Reiss, Lindsey Shcwartz, Debra Trappen, Dorice Horenstein, Isabella Banville, Tisha Held, Zuleika Deciga, Kristin Bentley, Nikki Butler Gain, Stacy Fischer, Kat Kim, Mirjam de Demm, Elan Bailey, Gigi Khanyezi, Dawn Torres, Nikki Achartz, and Maresa Freedman. Special thanks to our surprise guest Andrea Zomordian, for her beautiful gift of singing, and to Dr. Leubgythe Holm for our Saturday blessing.
Thank you to our workshop break out facilitators: Stacy Fisher, Bettina Carey, Anna Margolina, Tina Huang, Elaine Seiler, Lisa Mueller, Louise Sportelli, Elan Bailey, Leubgythe Holm, Mirjam den Dunnen, Aubrey Armes, Donna Riccardo, and Taryn Laakso.
To my Sisters who just knew I needed a little support with your kind and encouraging texts, calls, messages, emails. You kept me upright! Special shout out to Aubrey Armes and Nikki Butler Gain. Also, a special thanks to Leih Mulvhill for not only being a shoulder to cry on but getting all of our advertisement graphics out and shifting at such quick times. Love you so much.
I'm still riding high from this conference, reviewing my notes, spending time thinking about what I learned, and just allowing opportunity for my soul tank to generate what I need to do for fulfilling my purpose.
All attendees and registrants of this conference will receive a video link of the conference sometime next week. Those who would like can purchase the video by asking Sharon, admin@illuminatingwomen.com and she will send you an invoice followed by payment to the link.
I am so grateful to have all of you in my life, in Illuminating Women, and supporting our vision and mission to educate, encourage, and empower: assisting in lighting the paths for women, rippling out to others.
Many Blessings,
Jill
