Harnessing Your Potential This Summer

How are we already wrapping up July? Summer seems to fly by so quickly! My family and I have been doing our best to take advantage of the extra time together before school starts. It can be quite the tricky task as I prepare for the Leadership Summit, EmPowered by FIS—which is just two months away—and formally accept my new role as Wnet Board President for 2023.

While it’s an exciting and busy time, I also want to focus my efforts on promoting the value of professional development for my team and the members of Wnet. I'm honored to be invited as a special guest for the bonus webinar on July 28 with career coach Stephanie Polen, founder of Unshakeable Women: Advocate for Yourself: Owning Your Professional Development. We’ll talk about the importance of career development, how to ask for financial support from your manager or HR, and provide building blocks to take your career to the next level—whether you are a senior leader or emerging one. Plus, you will learn about the new exclusive cohort, PayTech Women Academy, and how you can apply by the August 30 deadline.

I hope you join us for the webinar on July 28 as you work to harness your career potential. Enjoy the rest of your summer and safe travels if you're lucky enough to have an upcoming vacation!
