Our co-Producer and the host and producer of The Mindshare Podcast, Liana Slater, gathered her own Personal Board, entitled "Keep Ascending" to share insights with you.

Six professional, ambitious women meet once a month to discuss work issues, business ideas, reflect on life choices, and share laughter. After attending the "ASCEND Summit" in New York City, a conference podcast co-host Liana Slater attended to hear INSEAD professor Zoe Kinias share her research, she and 5 other women committed to keep the momentum going after feeling inspired by the invigorating women & men who spoke at the women in leadership summit organized by Columbia Business School. Tara Bishop, Lidia Bernik, Pam Dickson, Katherine Peters, Elizabeth Yi & Liana Slater committed to "Keep Ascending." These individuals reflect on their group that consistently serves as a forum to inspire each other, regularly seek professional advice, mentor one another, and leverage this support network to continue to thrive through their personal connection and the power of this Mastermind group.  Join us as we share a different kind of discussion in this episode of "Stories," the infinite value of a Personal Board and why it is so important to work to build your own.
