Bring out the Leader in you!!!

By Jayakishore Bayadi
Here is a worth event coming up for women to attend. Iam sure this is not going to be an ordinary event discussing about mere social issues or evils, which will automatically get vanished from our mind when we come out the venue. Here we discuss about ourselves to bring out the best out of us. I think that stays with us for long time. It’s like being bitten by a bug that reminds us constantly to grow. Needless to say, this may impact our society in a tremendous manner in a positive way! Hence, no doubt this is a forum to explore our selves, our capacities, and our hidden talents.

Yes. You got it right. Iam talking about the SmartTechie Women 2.0 Summit. Which is going to be held on March 10, 2008.Today, more and more women are taking on leadership roles. To prepare yourself to take your place at the executive table, it is crucial that you identify the need to shift your mindset so that you can be a powerful and effective leader be it in the work environment, social setting, or at home.
