Over the last few years, I have had the absolute pleasure of attending an inspiring one-day women’s conference, POWER OF THE PURSE in Hamilton and London. This year I am thrilled to announce I will be presenting at the event on October 6 in London, Ontario.
On both occasions, I left feeling incredibly joyful and highly motivated. There is something about networking with a group of 300 dynamic women that really elevates your hopes and dreams that you had from the earliest time you can remember. For many of us regardless of our age we still don’t know what we want to do when we grow up so attending POWER OF THE PURSE really opens up the possibilities. The conference not only offers advice to women at all stages, it celebrates the success of women as they share their stories and achievements.
Cynthia O’Neill, founder says, “Power of the Purse, celebrates women’s earning power, purchasing power and giving power. Our conference is dedicated to building community and encouraging leadership. Presenting a speaker roster of highly successful and accomplished women, we promote personal and professional development. Together our audience examines what may be holding them back from embracing challenges and change. We look at the truths in achieving work-life balance, and through inspiring stories, shared experiences, and humour, we ensure our attendees leave from the day feeling inspired, motivated and celebrated.”
Providing a Voice
Each year the conference provides a voice to a Charity of Choice; a local non-profit organization in the host community who is doing tireless and important work. Each year the conference has new and ongoing sponsors like RBC Royal Bank who is committed to developing and supporting programs, services, and events for women, women entrepreneurs and women’s markets. The sponsorship support ensures that the ticket price is affordable for everyone.
This year the Power of the Purse will be held on October 6, 2016, in London Ontario.
