Success today is not just about money, prestige and hard work – the 90’s “Greed is Good” mentality is no longer relevant. Influencers and icons of 2017 are doing more than just getting cashed up and burnt out – they are enjoying a healthy, happy, enriching life and making the world a better place at the same time.
The next Women of Influence event is about being the best you can be, overcoming challenges and considering the needs of others. Each of our panel members have their own story and reality to share with you how they became successful in their own right but are also making a positive impact on the world around them.
