Lead On Watermark’s Silicon Valley Conference for Women

lead on logoA few weeks ago, I wrote that my word of the year is Rejection. To remind me, I purchased a customized ring on Etsy yesterday. The jeweler had all these samples of her work, engraved with words like Love, Peace, Believe, whereas I emailed and asked her to customize mine with Rejection! Ha! There’s no silliness involved because my laser-focus on rejection is working.

I’m thrilled to report that I’ve been selected to be part of the social media team for the inaugural Lead On Watermark’s Silicon Valley Conference for Women on February 24 at the Santa Clara convention center. It’s going down in two weeks.

The one day schedule is jam-packed with keynotes, workshops, panels, and roundtables led by experts on leadership, career advancement, negotiation, personal development, social media, small business, and entrepreneurship.

Check out just a few of the speakers. Hillary Clinton…Swoon! You all know how much I love Hillary, right? #Hillary2016

Kara Swisher? Love her. There isn’t anywhere else I’d rather be than this conference.

lead on conferenceI believe there are still tickets available, but the conference is definitely going to sell out soon.

I will be live-tweeting the event with VIP access. Mark your calendars Tuesday February 24th and follow me here. #LeadOnCA

    Holy Cow! How awesome!!! I had not heard of the conference but I just signed up. Although… I’m guessing I won’t get assigned to the Hilary Clinton lunch. But, all the speakers look fabulous. Cool.
