Event Speakers
Nicole Lapin
No. 1 New York Times Bestselling Author, Money Expert, and Veteran Business News AnchorBe your own superhero
When she needed a hero most, she had to become her own.
In a world that teaches women to "lean in" to everything and be like Superwoman, Nicole Lapin proves the secret to success is putting your oxygen mask on first, before helping others. After hitting rock bottom, Nicole decided to change her working style and came up with a plan to create boundaries and live a healthier, more sustainable life.
Drawing from her most recent book “Becoming Super Woman,” Nicole will offer actionable tips on how to take better care of yourself, increase your emotional wellness, and work smarter not harder. Backed by first-hand experience, she will detail the rising epidemic of burnout, and explore how to recognize it, reverse it and banish it — for good.
