Let's break glass ceilings, together

Innovation, growth and excellence do not come from staying in your comfort zone – they come from breaking barriers, thinking outside of the box, and reimagining what’s possible. This year we’re bringing together women and allies to discuss how they’ve broken through barriers, to reach levels that once felt unattainable, or maybe even impossible. They’ll speak to what it feels like to realize there are no limits to what you can accomplish – “that no ceiling feeling.”

 

Join us for an engaging panel discussion with leaders from the DFW metroplex. You’ll leave with tangible takeaways on how you can propel your career, your initiative, or your team forward into something extraordinary.
