OTTAWA Monday Girl Panel: The Unfiltered Edit

✨ The Unfiltered Edit presented by Meridian

There’s a lot that goes into building a big career that we don’t always talk about. This panel brings together women in major leadership roles for an honest conversation about what it really takes to build a big career. The pressure, pivotal decisions, risks, lessons learned, and everything that happens behind the scenes.

Expect candid insights you won’t hear anywhere else, honest lessons from behind the scenes, and a room full of ambitious women ready to talk about what it really takes to build something from the ground up.
