one
surprise
ice
cream
treat—
a
special
sampling
of
Tyra

the
25th
WLC
was
more
of
a
reunion
for
the
women
and
men
of
western
New
England—many
glad
to
see
familiar
faces.
The
day
was
spent
laughing,
learning
and,
as
many

shared,
feeling
empowered
to
REimagine
what
comes
next
for
them
in
both
their
professional
and
personal
lives.

movement

Banks;
and
author
and
humorous
motivational
speaker

Cashen.
Focus
session
speakers
brought
relevant
workplace
topics
to
life,
including
Managing
Complexity
and
Extreme
Risk,
The
Power
of
Meaning,
Staying
Sane
with
Disruptive
Personalities
in
the
Workplace,
and
Thrive
at
Work.
The
celebration
of
empowering
women
continued
with

the
