About Our Special Guest
and her Topic:

Politics of Success for Women: Redefining the Rules of Success

Politics exist everywhere, and most women understand the unspoken rules that define their success in the workplace. Redefining those rules of success allows women to be bold and to pursue achievements that move beyond societal and even their own expectations.

The stress of success and the demands that accompany it while trying to maintain authenticity creates an interesting dynamic. Navigating through barriers in the workplace requires understanding of oneself and others so we can be strategic.

Joone Kim-Lopez will share her journey and how she redefined the rules of success in her career. She will share her insights on how to truly achieve power.
