Afternoon Seminars

How can a high school drop-out raise herself to become, the President of a successful company?  Conventional wisdom tells us this is not possible, however the road we follow to be victorious contains many strange turns and detours.  Susan certainly traveled a non-traditional road to get to where she is.  She will be the first on to tell you that she has never been described as conventional: strange and different, perhaps, but not conventional. There isn't one road for women to take to go through the glass ceiling, there are many.

Suddenly single? Loss of employment?  We all know someone who has coped with divorce or loss of a significant other, lost a job or struggled to care for an aging parent.  Change and uncertainty are facts of life.  Learn about some of the challenges, concerns and financial strategies to consider when faced with a sudden major life change.  Women are more adversely affected by unexpected events and therefore, need to adapt and apply strategies based on changes in our lives.  In this seminar, Ivana’s vast financial planning knowledge will provide you with steps to take now to reassess where you are going (or might be headed) and better prepare you for a bumpy road ahead.

Times are tough, and women are juggling more than ever. Many have put their dreams on hold until after the economy improves, after the kids are out of the house, after they retire . . . but the world needs your dreams now more than ever. In turbulent times, the future is yours to create. Join Karen for conversations that matter about transforming your future, including practical strategies, tips, and tools for reinventing your life. Learn how to achieve not only success but fulfillment.  Your future begins now!
