What I Know Now™ Seminars & Workshops

 

 WHAT I KNOW NOW™ Seminars

Author Ellyn Spragins uses the exercise of writing a letter to one's younger self as a way for outstanding female business leaders to share their wisdom with other women from their organization.

  • In preparation for a seminar event, Ellyn collaborates with a panel of three accomplished women handpicked by the event organizers to create letters to their younger selves.

  • At the event, she speaks about lessons learned from exceptional women in the books and invites each panelist to read her letter aloud.
  • She leads the panel in a discussion about their letters and the vital wisdom that would have helped these corporate stars earlier in their career.
  • Finally, Ellyn invites the audience of businesswomen to ask questions and share their own experiences.
