Get inspired. Get Achieving.

The power of dreams. The audacity of belief. And the courage to live it.

Amazing things happen when these three come together. You tread places that you always thought you could, and shatter glass ceilings in the process. When the toughest challenges seek you out, you find out ways to overpower them.

The AICPA Women’s Global Leadership Summit brings together insights and lessons from the lives of those who are living the things that others dream of.

Empowerment starts here:

• Breaking Through: My Journey to Becoming the First Female NFL Official
• Thanks for the Feedback – Lessons in Giving and Receiving Feedback
• The Truth About Meetings for Executives (and how to fix them...)
• Finding your Everest
• Achieving Your Highest Priorities

You’ll learn how to:

Climb the ladder
Use your voice
Empower other women
Manage your time effectively
Engage male leaders
Partner with your boss
Recognize unconscious bias
Promote gender equality
