UWIB Presents: From Setbacks to Success: Women and Resilience 2025

Join us in NYC for an inspiring and empowering live, panel discussion that delves into the incredible journeys of resilient women who have faced career setbacks head-on, only to rise stronger and achieve remarkable success. We shine a spotlight on the untold stories of females who have navigated failure, learned valuable lessons, and emerged victorious in their professional lives.

Our panelists, accomplished women from diverse fields, will candidly share their personal experiences of setbacks, disappointments, and unexpected challenges. Through their stories, you will gain insights into the strategies they employed to turn adversity into opportunity, transform setbacks into stepping stones, and redefine failure as a crucial element of their success stories.

Whether you're a seasoned professional, a budding entrepreneur, or someone navigating a challenging moment in your career, this panel discussion offers valuable lessons, inspiration, and practical advice.
