During this 45 minute interactive presentation\, we will examine the state of Canadian personal finances and the unique challenges we face as women with our money.

This presentation is an engaging\, practical insight into the minds and habits of powerhouse women. You will walk away with a clear understanding of the critical success factors that have catapulted the "4%" to the upper echelons of leadership AND how you can leverage these strategies to create more professional and personal success today -- whether you want to be CEO of your company\, grow your small business or land that next promotion. Attendees will walk away with their own "powerhouse plan"\, which will include personalized action steps they can put into action today.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nLuncheon: \n\nThe WHOLE Truth Panel: Candid Conversation about Career Challenges\n\n \n\nModerated by:\n\n\n\nMargaret Chapman\n\nCMRP\, Vice President\, Corporate Research Associates\n\nMargaret has worked as a consultant since 1999\, specializing in group facilitation\, in-depth interviewing\, marketing and communications.
