Women Providing Hope in a Time of Crisis
Virtual Summit
Wednesday 8 April 2020
Given the current crisis, a group of women have joined forces to provide support and encouragement to other women at this time.
Called “Women Providing Hope in a Time of Crisis Virtual Summit”, on Wednesday 8 April 2020, from 7 am through 11 pm, the various speakers will cover key topics to help women not only survive but thrive during this crisis.
From Lisa Hurley, a young mum juggling her husbands and her business with two young sons, to Bek Daley from I Hate Cooking sharing how to cook healthy meals at this time, to Poala Kalaf providing a good exercise routine, Trish Jenkins on what does resilience look like in a time of crisis and Kylie-Maree Jarrett sharing what is the best way to home school. These are just some of speakers and the topics being covered.
“It all started from a conversation with a small group of female entrepreneurs,” said Wes Leake from Business Blessings, “each was sharing key information that they could provide to others at this time. From there we birthed the idea of hosting a virtual summit where they can share their insights to a broader group of women, help them and help each other at the same time.”
In a recent post in the Facebook Group “Women Providing Hope in a Time of Crisis” (where the summit will be hosted) women gave a range of answers to the question “What are you finding the biggest struggles during this time of isolation?”. The answers are really telling and insightful as to the real struggles that women are facing at this time.
Myrna Widlend, an Internationally awarded Certified Vision Board coach said: “the responses we are receiving are very interesting and show that this virtual summit is very timely. They also highlight the importance of having a clear vision and focus at this time. Particularly when there is such uncertainty around how long this will go for.”
Julie Mason, one of the world’s top Linked-in experts will also be providing key advice on how to update your Linked-in profile. This will help you either get that next job or to make new connections to grow your own business at this time.
“Times like this provide a real opportunity to reconnect as a family.” says Carol Prater who will be sharing on the importance of staying connected and having meals together. Jayme Hull an experienced mentor of women likes to say that: “the single most important influence of your twenties and thirties is not the degree you pursue, the job you take, or the person you date … but the person pouring into your life and shaping you – your mentor. Now is a time to take stock and consider who is mentoring you but also who can you mentor.”
Throughout the day funds will be raised to support Dare DV Support and to help women be trained in how to start their own businesses at this time.
This summit it is shaping up to be a key lifeline to women at this time.
