“Survive and Thrive—Leadership in the New Economy”

Online registration for this event.

Get out of survive-mode and into thrive-mode while mixing and mingling with Portland’s top female professionals on Tuesday, February 16 during the Portland Female Executives “Survive and Thrive” event at the Governor Hotel.

Leadership and Business Strategist Holly Duckworth will teach attendees how to thrive rather than simply survive by exploring “old” time-tested principles of leadership and whether they are still applicable in today’s business climate. Holly will use case studies to review the principles of the best-selling books "Good to Great" and "The Leadership Challenge". Her interactive presentation style will invite conversation and debate as attendees ask: are these principles still relevant? And if so, how can we apply them to our daily work?

All Portland female professionals are welcome—Register online through February 15 or buy a ticket at the door starting at 5:30 p.m.

The evening includes a no-host bar and a dinner buffet.
