November Breakfast Meeting

The Grass is Green: Navigating the Challenges of the Gender & Racial Landscape in Corporate America

with
Rita P. Mitchell & Brittany Mitchell

The topic, The Grass is Green: Navigating the challenges of the gender and racial landscape in corporate America is coming from the 4th chapter of my new book, Own Your Phenomenal Self. Britt is CMO of my company, Rita P. Mitchell, LLC, wrote the forward to the book and also helped in the creative and editing process of the finished product. In addition, a good portion of the book came from the day-to-day advice that I was giving her and others that I continue to mentor in the navigation to career success in today's corporate landscape. 

Britt, who is 33, will speak from the perspective of our target market...young women 25-45, who are ambitious, highly motivated, and who want to do good in the world... and I will speak from the perspective of a woman who has navigated and achieved success over a 40 year career in the male dominated financial services industry. 


Thank you to our Breakfast Sponsor:
