As women we are often forced to compromise our true selves for the sake of others. Fitting into a pre-defined mold at work, or even at home, takes an incredible amount of energy. During this engaging panel we'll explore how women can find their voice in order to get real with each other, with men and their managers in order to lay claim to their true selves and to accelerate their careers.

How can we fight back collectively to build a future of our daughters that makes motherhood an easier choice? What about us and the mothers of today? And why are so many more of us choosing to bypass motherhood altogether? There are no right and wrong answers but we can't wait to dive in to hear all perspectives from mothers and non-mothers alike.
