WXW Forum 09 – Wow, What an Event!
At WXW’s yearly forum on May 15th, we spent an entire day talking about business, balance, and leadership. Over 225 of the region’s top business people were in attendance. The morning workshops were powerful, and participants told us they could immediately apply what they learned in the workshops to their own companies and careers. State Representatives, Pam Byrnes and Rebekah Warren, joined us for an informative lunch conversation. The women on the panel (Debi Scroggins, Kimberli Cumming, Maria Thompson, and Mary Morgan) were so well-spoken, honest, and insightful. The afternoon breakouts had everyone talking about pressing issues. And let’s not forget the happy hour where we could really let our hair down…
Here are some words from attendees:
“I left the WXW event feeling empowered and very motivated about my business. You have helped and continue helping a lot of women by creating WXW. “
Susana Castro-Pollard, Global Design

“Thank you for a great Forum on Friday. I felt like I came away with all that Carrie had indicated was the intention in her opening comments: I felt informed and inspired by the women around me. What a dynamic group! And what a great culture you are helping to cultivate for the women in business in our community!“
Tammy Koupal, Vision Builders
…………………………….
“Friday’s event was really good for me. I forget sometimes how much I need to hear other’s voices. I often talk about how I need it, but when I actually surround myself with powerful women who are in the position for me to learn from, I am amazed I don’t do it more often!“
Josie Ann Lee, Balance Massage Therapy
…………………………….
“I can not help but reflect on the WXW forum and how impressed I was with the turn out and presentations for an event that is only in it’s second year. Well done! I am not sure what compelled me to participate in the “Creating and Executing Your Vision” but I could not have made a better choice. Meeting both of you (workshop facilitators Eleni Kelakos and Carrie Hensel) had a profound impact on me and made me realize what I need to do in order to succeed personally.”

If that’s not enough, here’s a little note we just got from Michigan’s Governor, Jennifer Granholm:
