A Message from WIW Founder, Leslie Sturgeon
“I can’t believe how friendly and happy everyone is.”
“I feel like I’m in a supportive sisterhood with complete strangers.”
“It’s so cool that we can learn while having fun and celebrating.”
“I learned from Randy Pierce that despite obstacles, you can conquer anything.”
“Where else can you go, be inspired, learn and then dance? Simply amazing energy.”
“I am going to stop saying I’m sorry thanks to Mel Robbins.”
“Feminine, festive and fun.”
“I am giving myself permission to follow my dreams.”
It was those statements and so many more that truly melted my heart at our recent NH Conference for Women. Seven years ago I started Women Inspiring Women, never thinking that it would grow beyond the Lakes Region. And the fact that we are now the largest women’s organization in NH and this was our 5th Conference with record-breaking numbers, makes me pinch myself that much harder. I must certainly be dreaming! While we host events throughout the year and they are educational and fun, this is the pinnacle of the year and of all our events. Months of anxiety-induced planning comes down to this one-day extravaganza. While it goes by in a flash and I’m generally tending to details throughout the day, I always sit back and take it all in. You women who make up our WIW community and who come to our events are beyond phenomenal. You are committed to your personal growth, to expanding your knowledge, to supporting others who are on a similar journey and even sharing your wisdom so others can learn from your life’s lessons. I am in awe of each and every one of you and have profound gratitude!
From our sponsors, exhibitors, speakers, guests and our volunteer team of “Pink Angels,” the Conference and WIW are an example of what can happen when passionate, thoughtful people come together and put their energies behind something. While I may “steer the ship,” it is nothing without you.
Simply thank you!
Actually Leslie…without your vision and your tireless efforts to put such an amazing day together, none of this could happen at all!! You hold us all up with your love, passion and undying inspiration for the women of NEW ENGLAND. Bravo my dear friend, bravo.
Oh, Jamie, your comments mean so very much to me. THANK YOU. You have definitely been one of my biggest supporters and cheerleaders!
Leslie, I am grateful to be a part of this magical experience with the Women Inspiring Women community. For the past 5 years I have watched the depth of the experience grow as I massaged the women at the conference. So many blessings to celebrate the wider community of NH women. Thanks to your vision and passion, the women of New Hampshire benefit from the warmth of community, as we gather together in large and small ways throughout the calendar year. This year’s NH Conference for Women was amazing! You ROCK!
Thank you for your beautiful comments, SE. Your friendship and support has meant so much and people like you are the reason we have been so successful over the years (not to mention your magic hands!).
