Yesterday, I had the pleasure of addressing a room full of female entrepreneurs as a speaker on the Ladies Who Launch “How to be your own PR agent” panel at the Maplewood Women’s Club in New Jersey. Ladies Who Launch (LWL) is an organization for women entrepreneurs that provides incredible networking opportunities, access to resources and a ton of inspiration. Rose Communications hosted a LWL incubator just about a year ago in our office space and we continue to remain active members. Also on the panel were Jill Frechtman of Fretzels by Jill, social marketing guru Stephanie Frasco and Peggy Menaker of Fit For Print, who helps entrepreneurs and small businesses publicize their products and services. I enjoyed helping the budding entrepreneurs who attended tell their stories in a newsworthy way. And, as it goes with these events, I made great connections myself. If you’re thinking about a new business idea and happen to be a woman, I highly recommend doing the LWL incubator. You’ll not only walk away inspired, but you’ll see how others see you and your concept. That “mirror” benefit is priceless.
It was such a pleasure meeting you Rosemary! I am thankful for being on such an amazing panel with amazing women. I learned a lot from you.
I learned a lot from you, too! Like including http:// when posting my blog URL in my Facebook status update to make it a live link. Good timing.
