Truth Bombs About Forgiveness, Life and Self-Love
KATHY BUCKLEY
We all have excuses we can use for why we feel sorry for ourselves or hide from the world – pain in our lives that we feel is holding us back. Kathy Buckley certainly had more than most. The comedian, who has been deaf since she was a baby, will share what it is like growing up being hearing impaired (and her recovery from a near-fatal accident), along with fighting and beating cancer that helped her find the humor in life. She turned the darkness into laughter.
Kathy will also share the true meaning of forgiveness and how it can set you free. Holding onto discontent, and holding grudges against others does not hurt those you will not forgive. It hurts you. Forgiveness is a gift that will free you from the burdens that go along with holding onto, and reliving, bad things that have happened to you. Through Kathy’s humor and perspective on life, self-love and forgiveness, you will walk away with a greater understanding of the power of your words, your belief system and the choices you make. You will learn how to love, honor and respect yourself – appreciating you for you, knowing all you need is within you.

Celebrating the Too Much Woman
GINA HATZIS
These are revolutionary times! In a world seeped in Not Enough-ness, there runs a parallel and opposing storyline that is not being discussed, yet it is just as destructive in keeping a woman small. This is the untold story of the Too Much Woman. Too intense. Too sensitive. Too emotional. Too passionate. Too driven. Too smart. Too sensual. Too needy. Too ambitious. Too dramatic. Too honest. Too pretty. Too wild. Too successful.
The Too Much Woman is forced to cram the Bigness of who she is into a tight box of predictability and stability. Her bright sparkle must be dimmed. Her radiance must be kept in check. Celebrating the Too Much Woman is about boldly embracing all that we are and harnessing our innate gifts to make the greatest impact on the world.

ABOUT LESLIE STURGEON
What started out as a creative spark by Women Inspiring Women Founder Leslie Sturgeon, grew into the largest organization in New Hampshire for women’s empowerment, personal development, business resources, networking and fun! Since starting her first business in the Lakes Region of NH in 1989 at the age of 22, Leslie surrounded herself with other professionals to discuss business, career success, life/work balance, dreaming big, challenges, opportunities and personal growth.
Because of her appreciation for the difference women can make in one another’s lives, she had a desire to create an organization where other people could experience on a regular basis what had been so influential in her life. After the launch of WIW in Meredith in May 2007, the organization grew rapidly and expanded to Concord, Southern NH and the Seacoast all within 3 years.
Leslie has been hailed as one of New Hampshire’s “Outstanding Women in Business” by New Hampshire’s largest business publication – the NH Business Review, as a Women in Business Champion by the NH Small Business Administration and received two Gubernatorial citations from Governor John Lynch.
Leslie puts her enthusiasm, zest for life, warm personality and accepting spirit into each and every event and program, making sure that no detail is left undone. Her greatest joy in life is helping others to achieve their dreams through bold action, realize their unique qualities and encouraging them to reach for the stars. She is also a crazy dog lover, a huge fan of the Granite State (a native of the 603!), enjoys good coffee and conversation, likes to laugh until she snorts and believes in “keeping it real – all the time.” Leslie considers herself authentically and perfectly “imperfect.”
