Our Opening and Closing Speeches from Our Brave. Bold. Beyond. Summit with Carol Cox and Diane Diaz [Storytelling Series]: Podcast Ep. 195

What an incredible day we had last week for our Brave. Bold. Beyond. live virtual summit! 

Our speakers truly embodied being brave and bold.

There were tears and laughter, mic drops and raised hands.

In this episode, you get to hear the audio from my opening keynote and Diane Diaz’s closing speech.

(In next week’s episode, Diane and I are going to talk about our takeaways from the summit, to help you as a speaker and as an event organizer, should you decide to host an event as your thought leadership project.)

The summit was an all-day live experience and it was truly extraordinary to see our speakers deliver their powerful stories and the women in the chat supporting the speakers and networking with each other.

Here’s what summit attendees said:

“It was such a lovely, well put-together event. It’s certainly the most engaging virtual platform I’ve experienced.”

“A world-class event.”

“I took the afternoon off from a job that feels like it is killing me slowly – and today – at the closing of this event – I feel completely inspired with renewed hope and purpose.”

“So many great stories, passions of the heart and motivation from all of the speakers today. A transformational WOW! Magic happens when women get together to empower one another! It was crystal clear the team of experts who assisted these speakers in designing their story.”

A huge and heartfelt thank you to our team, speakers, panelists, volunteer speaking coaches, volunteers, and prize sponsors who made this happen!
