Women Lead Webinar Series

This webinar is free to all Forté members!

Forté has invited three executive women from our partner companies to discuss their career experiences and offer insights. Listen in as they have a candid conversation about the paths they took to their current roles and what they’ve learned along the way.

Over the course of this engaging hour, our diverse panelists will share their stories, their wisdom, and their advice — all to help women of color better navigate the workplace.

This session will cover:

  • Thriving in the current global social environment promoting racial equity
  • Bringing your authentic self into the work environment
  • Managing racial/ethnic identity challenges
  • The importance of developing strong networks
  • And more!

The webinar is presented by:
