This Saturday I attended the incredible RUN THE WORLD event hosted by The League of Extraordinary Women, which involved hundreds of women gathering with one goal, to connect. The speakers all sharing their stories and inspiring the room of 200+ attendees was completely infectious.
If you don't know The League of Extraordinary Women is a movement focused on supporting female entrepreneurs, creating a community and opportunities for women to connect.
The speakers opened up about their stories, solutions to issues and career roadblocks and it was all about empowering vibes which I wish you could bottle up and share to the world.
The MOST exciting thing was the launch of 'Meet your Maven', a new tech platform that connects women with their 'maven' allowing them to access certain mentors through requesting time's to meet and discuss any questions of their own business adventures. This is truly a breakthrough for women and a great tool to support female entrepreneurs. #women #mentoring #changethefuture
I wanted to share some key quotes below although I highly recommend heading to their next event.
