Willow Tree Keynote Address

TOPIC: Irish Wisdom for Working Women

"Everything I learned to be successful working in a male dominated industry, I learned from my Irish Grandmother." Tricia's grandmother came over from Ireland through Ellis Island in 1928. She created a wonderful life for herself in the United States and was a force to be reckoned with when it came to achieving her dreams, goals and creating her own idea of happiness. Tricia takes the lessons learned from her grandmother taught by old Celtic Sayings and clever Irish proverbs and blessings and applies them to challenges faced everyday by women in the workplace. Refreshing, creative and funny the presentation will leave women with the belief that they can achieve their goals, the desire to implement effective change and the wisdom to a vision for the future.
