Keynote Address – Accelerate Your Impact – JJ DiGeronimo
|
| Many professional women desire more influence and impact but often struggle to find the time and alignment necessary to make their desires a reality. With these same desires, JJ spent years researching successful women and men to learn their specific actions to advance their careers and navigate a path to success.
Join JJ for an engaging, interactive keynote where she shares proven insights highlighting easy yet actionable strategies for experienced women in business to accelerate their professional journey. JJ provokes enthusiasm for your career and shines a light on opportunities to enhance your path. Throughout her career, she learned that securing that next position, a board seat, or even starting a new initiative often requires professionals to enhance their brand, align with specific projects, and strategically expand their network. This keynote is based on her six-time, award-winning book: Accelerate Your Impact: Action-Based Strategies to Pave Your Professional Path, which is a professional playbook that empowers women of all ages to step into their goals while positioning themselves for their next level of impact!
