FEATURED SPEAKER Lisa Leider, Creator of Believe. Create. Become.™ Women’s Revolution!
ONLINE BelieveCreateBecome.com
Believe. Create. Become.™ Women’s Revolution promises to empower women to clearly see who they are and who they can become. Whether in life or in work, we all struggle to push forward in the face of adversity. Lisa Leider could be the spokeswoman for that cause. Putting it all on the line, she’s chasing her dream. Sound risky? Not for someone as smart, creative and, most of all, sincerely passionate and determined about what she is doing.
Guys, don’t be afraid! There’s a lot you can learn from Lisa as well. She’s launching a business. She’s a designer. She’s overcoming challenges every day while keeping her focus on the plan (ok, maybe she’s writing pieces of the plan as she goes along too!).
Lisa will share the hard work behind launching Believe. Create. Become.™ Women’s Revolution and how the idea came together. She’ll also talk about how she plans to bring 10,000 people together in May to “inspire and guide you to discover your unique purpose and drive in life!”
Believe. Create. Become.™ Women’s Revolution takes place on May 2 & 3 at the Wisconsin Expo Center at State Fair Park. Get your tickets now to save on early bird specials.
