We Can’t—and Shouldn’t—Do It Alone: Building Your Personal Board of Directors & Disruptors in the Age of AI
Thursday, October 9, 2025 (5:00 PM - 7:00 PM) (EDT)
Description
Join the Charlotte Area Chamber Wellness Initiative & Women in Business, in partnership with Network Build Grow, for a dynamic conversation on building your Personal Board of Directors & Disruptors—the circle that fuels clarity, courage, accountability, and growth.
You’ll learn how social wellness and strategic leadership intersect to create sustainable success—at work and in life. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, or navigating change, this session will help you stop going it alone and start building the relationships that move you forward.
