Follow on Google News | Trims Unlimited Participates at the 2014 OPEN for Women: CEO BootCamp by American Express OPENTrims Unlimited was honored to participate in this year's OPEN for Women: CEO BootCamp, a first-of-its-kind program.
By: Trims Unlimited Keynote speaker Denise Wilson wowed the crowd when she shared that she was an oboe player and schoolteacher who became a pilot. In 2007, she founded DesertJet, a private air charter company. Engaging, funny, humble and determined, one can only imagine the resistance she received when starting her business since only 6% of pilots are women. Former Ogilvy & Mather CEO, Charlotte Beers, author of the book "I'd Rather Be in Charge," rose to the top of the advertising world and now coaches women to be their authentic selves. According to Beers, there is no stopping "a woman who is full of energy, fierce with bravery and determined to get something done." One common thread was shared by each entrepreneur who spoke - don't fear mistakes. Mistakes will lead to success. Learn from them and keep moving forward. It's not always the first idea that works. They talked about the value of generosity in business, of not only getting, but giving referrals as well as the rewards of allowing diverse personalities and ideas on their teams. The #CEOBootcamp gave selected business owners an opportunity to engage in interactive sessions with CEO's in mentoring roundtable discussions and one-on-one sessions. Trims Unlimited's CEO, Susan Roth was a featured mentor and said the following regarding the event: "An inspiring day spent with inspiring women. This past week American Express assembled 400+ accomplished women with the purpose of sharing their knowledge and experience in an open yet structured forum. The result: a valuable learning experience and resounding success for all those speaking, sharing and participating. BRAVO!"
