Social Immediately following conference
Get ready to power up and take action with keynote speaker, Krystal Covington, Social Enterprise Expert & TEDx Presenter as she weaves in stories, tips and strategies to be more influential and powerful in moments that matter in the workplace and life.
Krystal's topics include:
TAKING ACTION: HOW TO BE YOUR OWN SUPERHERO
The key to success in any moment is taking action even when it’s hard. Discover why overcoming discomfort and taking action are the real keys to success and tactics for being more influential and powerful in the moments that matter.
THE SELF-CARE SECRET TO A CREATIVE AND PRODUCTIVE LIFE
We often praise others for being “movers and shakers,” constantly pounding the pavement to forward their goals, but science is finding that the true movement makers are often those who know the value of slowing down, creating moments of clarity, and caring for their own well-being and health. Learn to become more creative and productive in work and life by prioritizing self-care and personal wellness.
EMPOWERMENT IN THE WORKPLACE: ACTIVELY CELEBRATING OUR SUCCESS
Women are often trained to be modest and to celebrate team accomplishments over personal wins. Learning to self-promote without sounding like we’re shamelessly bragging is a skill that can lead to financial growth and new business opportunities. Celebrating our success also inspires other women to follow in our footsteps and create new accomplishments in their own path as well.
Krystal Covington is the CEO and Founder of Women of Denver, a social enterprise membership organization with over 1,000 members hosting over 50 events per year. She creates spaces for women to increase their business acumen, sharpen their leadership skills and connect with other high-achieving women.
