TAKING ON TOO MUCH:
Handling over commitment in business and life
Surely, you don't over commit! As women business owners, we know it is hard to say 'no'. Kay Cannon will join us to share insights on why we over commit and strategies to keep it from happening in the future.
Kay Cannon is an award-winning executive coach on a mission: to help Type A individuals reap professional and personal success without the resulting collateral damage. Her insights have been featured in more than 50 publications, including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Forbes Online, The London Financial Times, The Washington Post, Newsday, CIO Magazine, CFO Magazine and Executive Travel.
