We had our final class in the inaugural Woman’s Compass Forum. The feedback and results were amazing and we heard over “KNOWLEDGE IS POWER”. The testimonials are here but I wanted to share more specific results and progress the women made. Learn from them and join us for the next Woman’s Compass Forum starting 9/8! Early bird fee until Aug 11! Classes were held at 12pm EST and participants said it was the best part of the week to learn more and expand knowledge.
