Each month we share\, listen\, and grow while discussing themes like imposter syndrome\, emotional intelligence\, leadership styles and so much more. \nGet to know others within the industry by sharing successes or challenges\, plan future events\, and participate in professional development conversations. Occasionally we even invite guest speakers for a presentation or advice. \nLog in to your NEWIEE membership portal account to register for one month or register for them all.
