YWCA Northeast Indiana invites women to come together for Coffee & Conversations! These quarterly events provide a welcoming space for women to connect, learn, and empower one another by sharing experiences and insights.
Coffee & Conversations provides an opportunity for women to learn from each other through:
Shared experiences
Women can relate to similar challenges and obstacles faced by other women, fostering understanding and empathy.
Mentorship and guidance
Experienced women can provide valuable advice and support to those navigating career paths or personal situations.
Building confidence
Sharing successes and overcoming insecurities within a female network can boost self-esteem and confidence.
Unique perspectives
Women often bring different viewpoints and approaches to problem-solving, enriching the learning process.
This year’s series is focused on empowering women in the workforce. Our next event is December 11th – Empower Your Spark: Reigniting Strength in the Face of Burnout. Whether you are beginning your career or a little more seasoned, we look forward to learning from each other through our lived experience.
You're Invited!
In today's fast-paced and demanding world, burnout is a pervasive challenge, particularly for women who often juggle multiple roles and responsibilities. Let's have a conversation to help recognize the signs of burnout, reclaim our energy, and rebuild resilience. This is more important than ever, especially during the holiday season when demands can feel overwhelming.
