In a picture perfect world painted in filters and Instagram stories, it香蕉视频直播檚 challenging to decipher what香蕉视频直播檚 real.
But a B.C. woman has taken it upon herself to remind other women what they are capable of through a unique conference slated for Kelowna next month.
Rebecca Voros, the founder and director of the , will bring women together to celebrate, network and set goals for the future.
And unlike many other conferences, this one is not targeted at women in business 香蕉视频直播� although, she said, it can be beneficial.
香蕉视频直播淚 felt with social media and highlight reels, women were disconnecting from each other and were in competition and I was doing that myself with my friends,香蕉视频直播� she said.
After reading books on personal development, Voros thought it could be helpful to host a women香蕉视频直播檚 conference.
香蕉视频直播淏ecause why not,香蕉视频直播� she said. 香蕉视频直播淚 wanted to remind people that we香蕉视频直播檙e all in this together and that we香蕉视频直播檙e more alike than we are different.香蕉视频直播�
She tried her hand at hosting in her hometown of Castlegar and it was a huge hit, she said.
More than 200 women attended the event held on International Women香蕉视频直播檚 Day, March 8.
Voros enlisted the help of working women and professionals with a variety of backgrounds ranging from media to financial planning and nutritional coaches.
Together, the band of women guided an audience through three chapters that had women re-examining their past, owning their present and looking toward the future.
In Kelowna, speakers such as entrepreneur Amanda Zaal, single working mom Michelle Dupuis, creative Christine Esovoloff, life coaches Eve Ridler and Angie Olson, financial planner Monique Bogaardt, wellness expert and keynote speaker Elizabeth Beeds will equip the audience with tools to manage their workload, both in the office and at home.
Kelowna香蕉视频直播檚 own international speaker and author Journey Henkart will act as MC for the event.
