Homegrown Honors Women 2014: A Conference Celebrating The Filipina in Business – All Sides of Her!
In honor of Women’s Month, Homegrown will shine the light on some of the women who overcame adversity to achieve great success in their careers. Showcasing the compelling stories and experiences of 5 women and 1 man, the event seeks to celebrate inspiration, accept challenges, and inspire change.
We live in a time of juxtapositions. We revere people with multiple careers and slashers who do it all, but we also admire people who decide to simplify their lives and pare down to the basics.
As we explore the 360-degrees of being a Filipina in business today, we encourage everyone to devote sufficient time in reflecting on who we are, who we want to be, and what our impact on the community and environment is. Regardless of the stage we’re at in our careers, all of us have learned valuable lessons we can share with others to cultivate personal and professional growth.
