"Abbott Elementary" Namesake Joyce Abbott Has Some Advice for You

Greetings, Conferences for Women Community!

It’s “back to school” time for many. But who says only children should hear a good, motivating talk from a favorite teacher? Or embark on a bold new growth experience?

This is a great time for new beginnings.

So, this month, we are presenting three new offerings to help you build confidence, prepare yourself for a career transition, and make yourself heard at work — all building blocks of personal and professional growth.

We hope you enjoy them!

To help others bring their perspectives to the table, Crabtree recently shared some advice about improving your communication skills and effectively dealing with obstacles like being talked over.
