Secrets to Success: The 3 ‘F’s
At WOW, we are committed to helping women achieve better work-life balance and feel fulfilled in all aspects of their lives, including as entrepreneurs.
At this WOW Women Talks you will learn to:
-
Gain more Freedom
-
Discover your own sense of Fashion
-
Fundraise for great causes in our communities
Freedom comes in many shapes and forms. Financial independence, overcoming fears, going against the norms, it’s all about experiencing a worry-free, balanced life without having to cope with the psychological or physical burdens. But it’s not easy to attain.
Fashion can seem like a burden of its own to certain people but is also a tool to improve our perception of ourselves. It allows us to express ourselves and to live and demonstrate our sense of freedom by making it our own.
Fundraising is not an easy thing either but is a necessity nowadays in order to support all of the great causes that we all face one day or another in our personal lives. But whether it’s as an individual or a professional, there are ways to make it easier and more fun. Think of a fashion show for instance!
At this WOW Women Talk, you will learn, laugh and be touched. You will hear different stories from different experienced women who have a thing or two to teach you about how to feel good about yourself, how to achieve a sense of freedom and how to help others in return.
All of the proceeds of this event will be donated to the Eastern Ottawa Community Resource Centre’s Ottawa Violence Against Women Program.
