Join us for the first of our new Mentoring Moments Senpai Dinner series exclusively for FEW members to ask questions to our FEW member experts regarding featured personal and professional topics. The event will happen every other month of the FEW year and will provide FEW member mentors (“Senpai”) with the opportunity to share their knowledge or expertise in a given area with fellow members as a way of giving back to the community.
This month, we have invited Jodi Harris of World Tree Coaching, LLC., and Yoga Instructor and Holistic Wellness coach Ann-Katrin van Schie to answer questions on how to find balance and incorporate mindfulness into your daily professional and personal lives. This is not a workshop, but rather a conversation over dinner in an intimate atmosphere of 8 women. Catering and wine will be provided by Le Pain Quotidien.
