We are pleased to bring you Susie Kuhn, Vice President and General Manager in the Retail Industry as a speaker at the 2018 IPWS Leadership Summit! Make sure to join us on Friday afternoon, May 25th at Bellagio Shanghai for the most anticipated leadership conference in town, featuring top caliber speakers, engaging content and excellent networking opportunities.
This year’s conference theme is “Leading with Confidence: A Roadmap to Success”.
“Being confident as a woman is complicated. From a young age so much of our confidence is reflected in other people’s judgement or praise. That dynamic starts this idea that we have to work on building confidence. But the more time I’ve spent doing that work, the more I’ve realized that accepting myself, knowing my principals, and asking for what I want is the only way for me to be show up confident. So my advice is to build your character. The confidence will follow.” -Susie Kuhn
Through storytelling, firsthand experiences, and facts, our Summit speakers will discuss how foundational Confidence is to the personal and professional growth of women.
Meet Susie and our other amazing speakers at the 2018 IPWS Leadership Summit on Friday May 25th at the Bellagio Shanghai. Secure your seat and buy tickets now!
