April Program :
Embracing Your Value in Work and Life
|
Tuesday, April 12th
6:30 - 7:30 pm*
*Please note the earlier than usual start & end time as the Westmont Public Library closes at 8 p.m.
Join us for an empowering program where we hear from Michelle Smith, an entrepreneur who helps others navigate the challenges of finding balance in work and life, while still stretching the boundaries to do all they aspire to do.
Michelle spent years working for nonprofits to help them increase their revenues, but she was burned out and knew she needed a more sustainable lifestyle. She started her own company, Z&B Consulting, named after her sons Zach and Ben, so she could spend more time with them without sacrificing her income. Now Michelle spends her days helping entrepreneurs and nonprofits build the life of their dreams while still earning enough to maintain their lifestyles by working smarter, not harder. Michelle is the Romeoville Rotary President, Romeoville Chamber Executive Board Member, Past President of the RHS Choir Boosters and volunteers on Sunday's at church.
