Women Building Baltimore | Beyond Balance: Building the Capacity to Lead, Achieve, and Thrive

You spend enormous energy optimizing your business, your team, and your calendar. But rarely do you stop to optimize the one thing driving all of it: you.

In this interactive session, executive advisor Jodi Hume shares the same performance strategies she uses with founders and CEOs to help you manage stress, stay focused, and build the resilience without sacrificing the life you’re working so hard to build.

Because the most important investment you can make isn’t another tool, system, or strategy. It’s you.

Added bonus: Because how you fuel yourself matters — Bjuiced will be on-site with a made-to-order smoothie bar, offering a fresh, energizing alternative to the usual end-of-day drink.

A Women Building Baltimore experience created for women in construction.
