Take a step forward every day, Chamber’s Women Connect speaker says

Take one step toward one dream once a week.
That was one of the strategies author, business consultant and inspirational speaker Lynette Lewis outlined at the inaugural Women Connect event, held Tuesday at Fargo’s Hilton Garden Inn.
More than 500 women attended the program sponsored by the Fargo Moorhead West Fargo Chamber of Commerce.
Lewis also talked about lies of logic that women tend to fall for, such as not being qualified or not having enough resources.
Women Connect is a new program focused on developing female professionals. It connects women in a unique forum to foster long-term relationships and encourage leadership in business and life. The next session, planned for Feb. 24 at the Fargo Country Club, will be on confidence. For more information, visit www.fmwfchamber.com .
