NEW FORMULAS FOR SUCCESS INAUGURAL EVENT – FEBRUARY 6, 2007, SAN FRANCISCO

Our First Flexperience Forum was a resounding success! 

Trailblazing Panel

With over 420 attendees, we were amazed at the energy, diversity, and level of talent in our audience.

• Results of survey – 88% rated the event between a 7-10 (128 respondents)

• Tell your friends who missed the panel discussion to schedule a lunch meeting with their working mother friends and watch the webcast.

• You can now download the Event Notes, Highlights and Panelists Tips from our site. Also, starting later this month, we will be posting answers each week to the questions we didn’t have time for at the event. Stay tuned!

• Let’s all benefit from getting to know the trailblazers in flexible work strategies. Please take a moment to nominate a fantastic working mother for the “Top 25 Women Re-Defining Success.™” This is a great way for the media to cover stories about how women can have a professionally rewarding career and an enriching personal life (remember, at different times we need different strategies!).

Quotes from attendees at our February event:

“We heard so many great ideas at the event, and the first one we implemented was starting a working mother’s discussion group at our company…”

“It was empowering to know that many others are in my position…”

“Your enthusiasm for what you do and your obvious camaraderie was also really nice. I was totally inspired that my part time consulting situation is not a fluke, but something I can make happen for myself long term.”

“I was very pleased to hear from so many panelists who had advanced degrees and who want to continue to make use of them.”

“I enjoyed the stories about ‘real’ life. Too often things are sugar coated and I like to hear candid responses.”

“LOVED THE PANEL!! They were all great speakers and truly inspiring. Also, Lizzie was a fantastic moderator. Gifts were great -- it is always nice to get something. As a working mom, we are always giving to others, so a little gift for ourselves goes a long way.”

“Everything was very well orchestrated but still in a very positive easy ambiance. Panelists were powerful at conveying ideas but very approachable. Location was very appealing, food sophisticated and participants hip. A total success.”

“I loved that I walked away feeling invigorated, challenged and excited. Why hadn't I thought about working part-time before? My vision of a part-time job definitely was not what the panelists enabled me to see! Now I feel more optimistic about finding a fit for me - I want to be able to drop my kids off in the morning and pick them up at the end of the day - but in the middle some lucky company will get the best of my energy. Thank you, Flexperience!”
