Women on Top: Lessons for Life and Business from the Mountains
with special guest Emilie Cortes (an FWL
featured leader), Mountaineer and Founder, Association of Women MBAs.
What do you do when the going gets tough on a mountain?
Do you back down or charge forward one step at a time?
Do you assess the risk and retreat, cautiously continue, or blindly march on?
The same characteristics that make a strong climber also make a successful businesswoman. Young Women Social Entrepreneurs, Charles Schwab and the Women's Interactive Network, Future Women Leaders, and the Silicon Valley and San Francisco Professional Chapters of Net Impact have teamed up to bring you this inspirational event designed to inspire you higher in your career.
Emilie will share spectacular photography and the amazing parallels between the business and mountaineering words. Some highlights that she'll explore include...
- Performing and being judged in a "man's world"
- Balancing fear and risk to achieve your dreams
- Importance of teamwork, leadership and collaboration
- Perseverance, persistence and preparation
- Setting ambitious but achievable goals
Event Details: July 23 | 6:30pm | Charles Schwab Auditorium, San Francisco
