ALSO Girls to Women: Discover Your Gifts, Impact Your World What: HATCH fest Girls For Change panel When: Saturday October 3rd 11am Where: The Emerson Ballroom Bozeman What inspires you? How does that manifest itself in your personal and professional life? Girls for a Change will host a group of accomplished, professional, and creative female mentors, including Susan Agre-Kippenhan, Jen Grace, Stephanie Quayle, Gennifre Hartman, and Alison Watson, as they discuss how they have reached the pinnacles of success in their respective fields. How do females discover, prepare, negotiate, and take advantage of the opportunities around them? These women have created their professional lives by turning their passions into successful careers. Through sharing inspirational stories, advice, and tools they will offer a sense of how girls and women can recognize their gifts and realize their dreams in order to propel themselves towards their individual goals. These Hatch panelists will each take on a Girls for a Change member for one-on-one mentoring during their stay in Bozeman. In turn, these women and girls will lead the panel discussion. The questions formulated by these and other young women will explore such things as: What were the top three skills used to achieve success, what risks they had to take, what their best idea was and how they made it work in their favor, how they identified and focused on their passion, and how they find balance in their lives. Panel participants will walk away with a better sense of how to recognize their gifts, grab hold of opportunities and face challenges with a positive attitude.
