Jenn DeWall

Motivational Speaker, Leadership & Confidence Coach Jenn DeWall Coaching

Want to know the secret to confidence? I'll give you a hint. It's learning how to stop depending on someone else to tell you whether you're getting it right, worthy, or smart enough. And it all starts within you and is completely within your control. I am a leadership and career coach and motivational speaker helping others show up as their confident authentic self at work. Because let's be honest, if you're not showing up as your whole self, you are only bringing half of yourself, your insights, and what makes you YOU into your work, relationships, and life. So stop waiting for someone else to tell you when you're getting it right and start taking the reins. You have one short life. How do you want to live it? Choose your happy life!

Ellen Meyerson - CRPC

Sr. Wealth Advisor Vanderbilt Financial Group

I am a problem solver for individuals, families and small business 401k's. My passion is to assist women in transition. This is where I found myself 33 yrs. ago. Separated, then divorced, no savings, 2 children, 1 a HS senior, the other a college freshman. Totally, illiterate financially. Transitioning to a small apartment from a huge home and wonderful Northshore lifestyle was shocking, scary. The good news is I was accepted to the Merrill Lynch training program. They were looking for women with sales experience. This was a monumental task with a long learning curve. So my goal is to demystify the swamp, bring clarity and peace of mind to each person. I don't want anyone to have to go through a similar upheaval.

Laura Fravel

Executive Branding & Communications Advisor | Storyteller | Keynote Speaker Laura Fravel

I help female executives and entrepreneurs, with decades of amazing experience and expertise, to make an income and an impact. I help them step out from behind their brand: to know their story, to own it, and then share it with the world… To truly elevate their expertise and impact. In short, I help build personal brands (authentic and impactful). I come from a couple decades in the media industry where my job was to develop and produce stories for everyone from National Geographic and HBO to big brands like Amazon and Intel. And through it all, I saw how powerful the individual’s story is. We ALL have a story to tell. It’s simply in how you choose to tell it, or not. I'm a people-person, mother, runner, traveling, sailing, surfing adventurer, in both life and work. And I’m always excited to connect with others. I hold a monthly roundtable of amazing thought-leaders each month called The ChangeMaker's Roundtable – please join us! laurafravel.com/roundtable.

Tara Perman

Career Strategist - helping clients find more fulfillment in their work OR a new role TARA PERMAN COACHING

I am a professional coach focused on helping career moms gain the clarity and courage to confidently make bold life changes. I shifted into this work after spending 20+ years doing leadership development at professional services firms. I am now self-employed and focused solely on helping private clients. Although my specialty is helping career moms, I enjoy working with anyone who is looking to make a change. For career changes - I've helped people leave jobs and explore new careers; I've also helped people stay put, our work having uncovered a renewed sense of alignment. For life changes - I’ve helped people create a vision for their big life goals and think thru the necessary steps to start making it happen. I help them move from awareness to action by creating a vision that is supported with a plan. Our conversations leverage tools and activities to help with necessary mindset shifts. And, I offer accountability along the way.
