January Breakfast Meeting Keynoter:
Linda Rebrovick
CEO of Consensus Point
What Would You Do If You Weren’t Afraid?
Leaning In to New Opportunities
Sheryl Sandberg is asking this important question in her book, Lean In. Women often worry about failing while leadership opportunities pass them by. Do you lean in to new opportunities or do you hold yourself back because you are afraid to fail?
Linda Rebrovick will share how leaning in has led her to serve on a number of corporate boards, and hold the positions of Chief Marketing Officer of a global public company and CEO of an entrepreneurial market research technology company. Linda will also discuss the valuable programs and resources available to support and promote women in Middle Tennessee, such as Evolve Women, Lean In Circles, and Women on Corporate Boards.
