| Me and Melinda Emerson at Reinvention Weekend |
As Gigee Marie continues to grow, I always try to attend various events/seminars/workshops in which I can take valuable information and apply to the business (there's so much more to this operation than just creating pretty clutches!). Recently, I attended two great workshops -- American Express/Tory Burch Foundation Mentoring Event, and Melinda Emerson's Reinvention Weekend. The first event was a partnership between American Express' Open for Women: CEO BootCamp and the Tory Burch Foundation, specifically targeting women entrepreneurs. The event started off with a discussion with Tory Burch and then broke out into smaller discussions with mentors across various industries. There were over 25 mentors, including Tory Johnson (you probably recognize her from the "Deals and Steals" segment on Good Morning America), Alexis Maybank (Founder and Chief Business Development and Strategy Officer, Gilt Groupe), and Moira Forbes from Forbes Woman.
The second event I attended was called Reinvention Weekend, hosted by the Small Biz Lady, Melinda Emerson. It targeted small business owners and gave great insight into areas such as social media, website functionality, creating valuable content, and financing your business. I actually had the pleasure of meeting Melinda at both events...that woman is EVERYTHING! Lol. She is full of personality and she's a straight shooter when it comes to telling you what you need to do to make your business successful. I wasn't able to take a bunch of pictures, but here are a few from the two events:
