The WPB Winter Workshop and Luncheon speakers stories were overall very encouraging and motivating to listen to. I thought it was interesting that all of these women began their journeys with small aspirations and were able to work there way up because they had courage, took risks, worked hard, and surrounded themselves with intelligent people who believed in them and their dreams. Listening to the women allowed me and many others to hear real stories about how women overcame obstacles and found courage in times of hardship. I think it is important for college students to be apart of these opportunities to hear people like these women's stories because they are inspiring and make you believe that you have the ability to achieve your dreams. The speakers real life advice was also practical and gives students an opportunity to hear these women mistakes and regrets and learn from them in order to be more successful.
