About The Broader View
We kept hearing the same sentiments expressed by our friends and colleagues. Women with all of the trappings of a "successful" life were asking, "What's next?"
Frustrated by the impact their busy professional lives was having on their wellbeing, and wearied by their jam-packed calendar, they were undeniably ready for change. But with so many worthy endeavors competing for their attention, it was rare for them to truly stop and take time out for themselves: to reflect, to celebrate their accomplishments, to contemplate their future.
The Broader View series was created to facilitate this much-needed time out. Guided by women of great wisdom, each event provides an opportunity to reflect, connect, and learn in a supportive and rejuvenating environment, with themes designed to foster and support healthy, fulfilling personal and professional lives.
