Part of being an inventor/entrepreneur is staying motivated, engaged, and informed about the world. One way I stay inspired is by attending relevant conferences. I recently attended the 19th annual Professional Business Women of California Conference (PBWC ) in San Francisco.
This year PBWC chose to focus on 4 generations of women in the workplace who have broken ground in politics, business, medicine, and beyond. We shared experiences, exchanged ideas, and inspired each other to keep making history.
The highlights for me included hearing Martha Beck--a writer and columnist for the Oprah Magazine--tell about life changing experiences that resulted from choices she made. She said we all have our own "North Star within" and she encouraged us to follow it. Another awe-inspiring speaker was Madeleine Albright, 64th US Secretary of State. Albright shared her hopes of reinstating America to a source of inspiration across the globe and she encouraged us to find ways to deal with challenges while making the most from our opportunities.
I learned so much from the other women at PBWC as well as from stars like Martha Beck and Madeleine Albright. Please leave a comment telling us who is inspring you right now.
