“Emily was the opening keynote speaker at our Empower Women in Business Symposium. Her presentation style was highly engaging and courageously authentic. The attendees were both inspired by her words of wisdom and compelled to take action on the insight Emily shared. Emily truly elevates women leaders and she was very deserving of the standing ovation she received at the end of her presentation.”
Attendee Comments
“It was a great event and honored to have you as our keynote speaker. Thank you for all you do for women in business.”
“Emily’s presentation at the recent SCORE Central Florida Women’s Symposium challenged us as professional businesswomen to see that we are already empowered and look for ways to recreate/build systems that support and enable us to grow into greater roles/responsibilities. With millions of women leaving the workforce, how do we help them re-engage? We need them back!”
“This was a wonderful event! Thank you for your words of wisdom and encouragement!”
