The event discussion aims to highlight the value of leadership and particularly emphasize the theme of the year being “Results by Design”. No matter what business strategy or strategic plan you try to implement with your team, its success and efficacy are going to be held back by the people implementing the plan if the culture does not support it. Leaders must make or break the culture code through their acts and values. Grab an opportunity to capture thoughts on the importance of the learning process to success, the execution, the effect of motivation on discipline and the limiting boundaries to our dreams! Some additional takeaways would entail the essential keys to happiness, the effect of critics on our goals and the role of adversity quotient in our journey. Hence, are you willing to get inspired, learn and give back while adjusting your leadership style for the next 10X wave of growth on personal and professional levels? Come join us…

Join YEGBOSSBABES Ambassador, Christina Bolstad, for an intimate and authentic discussion about managing your expectations as a business owner.
"There are many things we prepare before taking the leap of starting our own business, but one thing I didn’t prepare for is to expect the unexpected. The journey can be so rewarding but can also have its ups and downs. Setting yourself up for success is making sure your expectations are in place and your mindset is in alignment with the outcomes you seek. I believe you grow through what you go through and together we can learn from each others experiences."
