 Tomorrow!
Women Business Leaders is kicking off 2017's speaker series with
Comfort Zones: Why stretching yourself is critical to your growth, featuring Caroline Cummings, Oregon RAIN Venture Catalyst and Founder of Varo Ventures.
If you ask any successful person how they made it to where they are, most will tell you two things: first, they didn't make it there alone; and second, they did it from pushing their personal and professional limits. The latter occurs when you learn to identify and step beyond your comfort zone. Growth comes from a willingness to feel awkward and that usually results from trying new things. Caroline Cummings will share how to identify and step beyond your comfort zone so you can make your mark on the world. |
What are you doing after work tomorrow?

Calling all young professionals! It's time to realize your New Year's resolution to put down the technology, get out there and connect in person with your peers. We are giving you the perfect opportunity with our first YPN event of the year, sponsored by Mercedes Benz of Eugene and the fabulous Lewis and Clark venue!
You won't want to miss this fresh opportunity at one of Eugene's hidden gems. Lewis and Clark is the perfect place to host events and weddings -- and on your way in you'll get to take a peek at some of the gorgeous wheels at Mercedes, which might be a more affordable upgrade than you thought.
The fabulous food and drinks from Lewis and Clark will be the centerpiece of this event! So, grab your friends and colleagues to start 2017 in person and in style.
