Re-Cap: Women in Leadership; Journeys

Hear Loretta Stokes speak about her first Mentor.

If you missed our panel discussion, we are in the process of uploading a (nearly) full video of our panel discussion which you can watch at your leisure. Stay tuned for that!

On March 12, 2019, more than 30 women gathered to hear a panel of accomplished and amazing women. Our speakers came from a variety of industries, but they all had one thing in common: a wealth of experience and knowledge to share.

Panelists Included:

  • Jessica Averbuch, CEO of Zeitlin Sotheby’s International Realty
  • Lillian Blackshear, Lawyer, Bass Berry & Sims
  • Lisa Campbell, Director of External Affairs for Mars Petcare
  • Dr. English Flack , Assistant Professor, Pediatric Cardiology, Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital
  • Loretta Stokes, Senior Software Engineering Manager at EVENTBRITE

Here are some of the Gold Nuggets from the Panel. This list is in no way exhaustive. Each attendee took away their own bits of insight.

  • Be Open to New Opportunities
  • Utilize Mentors and Sponsors
  • Ignore Bad Advice
  • Grow a Support Network (or “Board”)
