W Leadership Development 2017
Going into this experience I did not expect the amazing support I received from every Phenomenal Lady in this conference. I am a firm believer that things happen for a reason, and there was a reason for me to be part of this journey with the most Amazing Women I have encountered in my 20+ years in the hospitality/gaming industry. I am amazed by the Love, thoughtfulness, and commitment from the many powerful women in our industry that have taken a stand to create this great experience for women like me and you. Never in my wildest dream did I ever think I would have an opportunity to meet Women in the Gaming industry from all different backgrounds yet similar challenges/learning experiences in our journey. I am a long life learner…and through this journey I had an opportunity to gain insight on public speaking, time management, coaching, and how emotional intelligence is a key driver to our career success.
There is a saying that reads, “It takes a village to grow a child”… During this conference a village of the most 25 powerful and beautiful spirited ladies empowered me with advice, guidance, and support to overcome with grace one of the most trying times in my life. This is an experience that I will forever cherish and will make sure every woman I encounter knows about Global Gaming Women and most importantly I am making it my case to support women like me and you!

This was an amazing conference. Very enlightening. Everything I learned over the 2.5 days can and has been immediately implemented in my leadership techniques. The women in the class showed tremendous support and encouragement. In an industry where it is difficult to show vulnerability, this was a much needed retreat and a safe environment for growth and development. Thanks for the opportunity!

"Thank you for the content, I learned sooo much. I especially enjoyed the emotional IQ. I really wish I could put into words how impactful the conference was to me but I simply can't find the words. Please know that I intend to take what you gave us to grow into a better version of myself."

Western Front Line Leaders 2017
"Thank you for the incredible training! I had such a great time and have already started using what I learned. I had lots of projects waiting for me when I got back so it was great to be able to give clear and effective feedback. I liked how you not only followed the materials, but also told us stories and made it fun. It was great to laugh while learning. While learning in the class was fantastic, my favorite part was having dinner with the mentors. Being in a market that doesn't have as many women in higher positions, it was great to meet with them and have 'real talk.' It was refreshing and exciting."
Molly Halpin, Database Analyst, Monarch Casino Black Hawk
