Women in Retail Leadership Circle is super excited about the upcoming Women in Retail Leadership Summit, taking place at the Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island April 29-May 1. While attendees can experience amazing speakers, fun pop-up shops, morning yoga, and more, one of my favorite parts of the event is our Coaches Corner, which enables attendees to schedule complimentary, 1:1 half-hour sessions with one of our executive career, DEI, financial, and nutrition coaches. Those who are attending the Summit and are interested in 1:1 coaching can sign up in our WIRLS app, launching in the next few weeks.
