Female Success Factor Panel & Meet & Greet

On Saturday, October 22, 2011 I had the pleasure of attending Rolling Out Magazine and the Steed Society, Female Success Factor: A Celebration of Successful Women Living Their Dreams panel and meet and greet featuring recipients of the Top 25 Women of Atlanta Awards. The panelists, a group of female entrepreneurs, corporate executives, entertainers and innovators including Renaissance Women award recipient, Kandi Burruss of RHOA, engaged in open conversation with guests as they spoke about their path to success and the challenges and triumphs along the way. The free seminar left attendees with feelings of motivation and inspiration after hearing discussions of the lives of a plethora of extremely powerful women.

The esteemed group of panelists included:
Kandi Burruss (RHOA/Bravo TV), CEO, Kandi Coated Entertainment
Keshia Walker, President, Insights Marketing and Promotions
McGhee Williams Osse, co-CEO, Burrell Communications Group
Michele Thornton, Director of Multi-Cultural Ad Sales, CNN
Natasha Hastings, Olympic Gold Medalist
Tracey Jennings, VP, Global Director, Liquid Soul Media

The event was phenomenal and I learned so much, I took some notes and I read over them daily to keep me inspired check out my highlights.

Michelle Thornton, Director of Multi-Cultural Ad Sales, CNN really inspired me her motto" I'm a brand, not an accessory" is so powerful and I actually added it to my mirror so I can remind myself everyday. Also she made a valid statement 80% of women don't ask for what they want.Which is so true, I'm going to make sure I speak up and ask for what I want.
