Held in October 2018 in Little Rock, Arkansas, the Global Women's Summit celebrated inspiring performers and leaders, fostering global connections to empower women, unlock their potential, and drive ambitious achievements.
The event featured dynamic conversations, panel discussions, spotlight interviews, and head-to-head exchanges, uniting diverse voices from business, entertainment, science, and technology to propel women's leadership forward. Its robust programming spanned six key pillars: entrepreneurship, technology, finance, health, education, and sustainability.
SUCCESS proudly partnered with the summit, delivering personal development resources to attendees. SUCCESS Senior Vice President Lauren Lawley Head led key panels, including sessions on launching entrepreneurial ventures.
“We delved deeply into these topics to uncover the motivation for starting a business,” Lawley Head shared, “and explored common pitfalls alongside proven keys to success.”

“Female leadership is about vision and responsibility. Strive to set an example for your team and encourage a collaborative process.”
