Strategies for Success When You are 'The Only One' In The Room 

As women, we have been educated, equipped and encouraged to go for our dreams—both personally and professionally.  We live in a time when women lead Fortune 500 companies, chair corporate boards, and even run for the highest office in the land.  While the opportunities are limitless, women still face barriers and challenges that are unique to being “the only one” or “one of a few” in positions of leadership and power.  Join Karen M.R. Townsend, Ph.D.  for an interactive workshop and lively discussion designed to offer success strategies for women leaders.  You may be the only one in the room, but it only takes one to make a difference.

Speaker: Dr. Karen Townsend

Karen M.R. Townsend, Ph.D. is president of KTownsend Consulting and founder of About My Sisters—an organization “on a mission to empower one million women and girls!”  For two decades, Dr. Townsend has helped women to achieve “life balance” by assisting them in discovering their true passions so that they live their lives “on purpose.”   In 2013, her annual empowerment conference—SISTER TO SISTER—celebrated its twentieth anniversary and was recognized as one of the longest running women’s conferences in the United States.

 Dr. Townsend is a highly sought after speaker and author of the bestselling book It All Started When I Stopped Using Lotion:  One Woman’s Journey From Chaos to Calm.  Through the pages of her book, Dr. Townsend encourages women to make themselves a priority and to “Take their TiME:  Time for ME!”  Organizations across the country are currently using “The Lotion Book” to support the professional development and career advancement of high potential women leaders. Dr. Townsend’s next book—Confessions of a Superwoman: Real Stories from Real Women about Real Life—will be released in 2017. 

 

 With expertise in leadership development, 21st Century diversity and personal excellence, Dr. Townsend educates, motivates and inspires professionals across the country to be their best—both personally and professionally.
