Part One: Key Note Speaker-12pm - 2pmLinda Cohn, ESPN Sports Anchor and Author of "Cohn-Head: A No-Holds-Barred Account of Breaking Into the Boys' Club."
Come join us for an inspiring and powerful account as Linda Cohn talks openly about the challenges, joy and adversity in life both professionally and personally. A journey which would not have been a successful one without the help of several instrumental mentors in life along the way.
Linda Cohn's story is a wonderful trip through a world unseen by the millions watching her on TV. Throughout her years, she persistently follows her own dreams no matter what obstacles are thrown in her way.
Part Two: Connecting with a Purpose-2pm-3:30pm
Knowing how to network is vital to your career. In this segment we will explore what it means to connect and how to do it based on the WICT Touchstone of Leadership:
Connect-to your peers, your industry, and everything around you.
You can't move forward without understanding where you are. So get to know your environment. The people you work with. The indsutry you work in. Immerse yourself in the economics and business practices that affect your company, your clients, and your customers. Keep your ear to the ground. Be aware of what your competition is up to, and gain the upper hand. Build a support system for yourself and those within your community. Great leaders get connected. Stay connected. And use every ounce of information to their advantage.
Participants will receive a copy of "Cohn-Head: A No-Holds-Barred Account of Breaking Into the Boys' Club."
