The Business Women’s Forum (BWF), a program of the Salt Lake Chamber, helps local businesswomen develop professionally and personally, and provides networking opportunities through a series of bi-monthly luncheons and mixers. Every event has a presentation from an accomplished local speaker, thought-provoking roundtable discussions, and spotlights a non-profit organization. Past topics have included mentorship, communication, leadership, and career development.

Society has taught us to keep our “personal” and “professional” lives separate, but the reality is we spend 1/3 of our adult waking hours at work, so it’s really all one life.

This exciting and engaging presentation challenges that status quo and challenges women to change their views on career development. In addition to focusing on all the classic things like obtaining new skills and networking, let’s shift our focus to what’s going on in our whole lives.
