ABOUT
Women Beyond Ordinary
November 11, 2021 panel discussion of " Women Beyond Ordinary"
In each woman sits a genius, something extra-ordinary, that has to come forward.
The idea to form regular panel discussions to provide a safe and fun environment to learn from others resulted in founding "Women Beyond Ordinary". Designed to provide encouragement, networking opportunities, and support in exploring women’s leadership roles in a variety of contexts. Women are amazing leaders at home and in the workplace and should be given access and equality to every opportunity that men have.
The panel members will give the group some of their best advice based off of their experience.
After the break we split the attendees up in smaller groups to discuss in each group the topic of the evening. Everybody has a voice and the opportunity to contribute.

Change: Resist or Adapt?
Often the hardest changes to understand and adjust to are the ones that are
unexpected and out of our control – a recession, a global pandemic or a major
disaster or a sudden passing of a loved one.
Experiencing a sudden, big change can feel like a physical blow.
Adaptability was an important survival skill even before the pandemic.
Most of us have a tendency to shut down in the face of new things.
Most of us don’t like changes.
Unexpected shifts are always around the corner, whether in personal life or in
business.
It can be tough to move forward. But while we can’t avoid these kinds of unexpected
changes, we can control how we deal with them.
Join us for an inspiring panel discussion and learn how to put change in the proper
context.
Look into the mirror. The amazing person you see is the face of change in your life…
During our exclusive evening, you’ll be filled with hope and courage and inspired to apply these amazing insights to your own life. Bring a friend or come by yourself. Numbers are limited.
Book now to avoid missing out.
