Transform Obstacles into Building Blocks at WBON Spring Conference May 5

Join Women Business Owners Network (WBON) at our annual spring conference on Tuesday, May 5th at the Hilton Hotel from 9am to 5pm. The conference title is "Over, Under, Around or Through: Transforming Obstacles into Building Blocks for your Business."

Are you an established woman business owner facing obstacles to growth? A solo entrepreneur trying to find her voice? Or are you about to take the plunge into business ownership? Running a business requires confidence, strength, determination, consistency and daring. These are traits that keynote speaker Bethany Bosch brings to her long distance swims. Bethany, of Wallingford, Vermont, became the 466th woman in to swim the English Channel last summer. She has returned to Vermont to share her inspiring story of overcoming obstacles in her keynote speech, "The Business of Swimming the English Channel."

Our morning panel discussions cover common pitfalls of the seasoned business owner, and best practices for growth and communication skills for the solo entrepreneur. The afternoon workshops cover strategies for staying fit at the office, public policy and advocacy, and techniques for breaking mental blocks. The conference ends with a presentation by Kerry Secrest, executive coach, former gymnast, and founder of the Women’s Leadership Circles of Vermont, who will speak on "Life Lessons from the Balance Beam."
