The only conference for leaders like you
We are a peer group of female leaders coming together in person to share our strategies and resources for you to take home that can be put into practice immediately. This is because we’re a growing coalition of women second in command leaders who are executing on their business plan, keeping their teams together, and quite frankly, getting sh*t done.
You’ll get to experience true women second in command leader support by meeting with others who are dealing with the same struggles and excited by the same things you are. Learn from more seasoned high-performing companies as well!
You’ll feel the connection you’ve been longing for.
