Time flies when your startup is having fun. Halloween celebrations have come and gone, and as November starts to settle in, it brings with it a whole catalogue of exciting new events to attend. To start your month off right, here are five events you should RSVP.
Why we need more moms to climb the leadership ladder, November 2 at 6 p.m.
Please join MUMZY, 1871 Chicago and its WiSTEM cohort for a panel discussion on the necessity of having more women and moms as leaders and how that will help everyone (not just women and moms). The panel will include thoughts from leaders within their fields to discuss why this is an issue we should all be thinking about and how we go about breaking the cycle. Retaining women, especially mothers, in the workforce isn’t just a women or just a mothers’ issue, it’s an everyone issue.
Art of Awesome Personal Branding Workshop, November 3 at 6:30 p.m.
How did people like The Rock, Jay-Z, and Tina Fey become dynamic personalities who constantly innovate, while people like Hulk Hogan and Vanilla Ice stay stuck in the past? The former built incredible personal brands. It's easier to become a Hogan or Vanilla Ice than you think, and in this workshop we show how to build your personal brand by taking charge of your life and career, so that you constantly innovate and stay ahead of the game.
