Jennie Hoelscher offeres one of the most valuable pieces of advice for women stepping into leadership roles: seek out a mentor within your own organization. A strong mentor can guide your development, open doors to new networks, and sharpen the skills you need to thrive in bigger opportunities.

This wisdom perfectly reflects the heart of TWLC — creating meaningful spaces where women can connect, learn from one another, and build relationships that fuel confident, intentional leadership growth.

"Surviving or Thriving? A Leadership Perspective on Self Care" offered a thoughtful and honest conversation on how self-care is not a universal formula, but a deeply personal practice shaped by individual definitions of success. The discussion challenged leaders to reflect on whether they are simply surviving or truly thriving, encouraging a shift away from one-size-fits-all expectations towards building sustainable habits and mindsets that support both personal well-being and long-term impact.
