Six women will be honored for their business achievements and community service at the 7th Annual Positively Powerful Woman Awards luncheon at 11:30 a.m., Friday, June 20, at the Ritz-Carlton, Phoenix.
“I believe all people have the capacity to be positively powerful,” says Dr. Joel P. Martin, author and renowned international trainer, speaker and coach. “Through the awards, I honor women servant leaders making significant impacts on the lives of others. My goal is to empower all people to go for their highest aspirations because of the examples set by these amazing role models.” Dr. Martin is the founder of the Positively Powerful Woman Awards program.
The program is a full-day event that combines an inspirational luncheon awards presentation with an afternoon of transformational leadership, personal and professional development. In addition to highlighting the six honorees, this year, the program’s 35th award recipient will be announced. The mistress of ceremonies for the luncheon will be Susan Casper, co-host of ABC15’s Sonoran Living Live.
Ilana Lowery, Editor-in-Chief of the Phoenix Business Journal, will moderate the Award Recipients’ Panel Discussion to kick off the Transforming Life Summit. Then, Dr. Martin will deliver her keynote address, “BE The LEADER You Want to See in the World: Access Your Ability to Transform So You OWN Your Dreams With Confidence.”Following that will be international body language expert Linda Clemons and Dr. Christa Thompson, emotional intelligence specialist.
Each year, the luncheon highlights an up and coming non-profit. This year, we will feature Severson Sisters and their Super Girl program. The Super Girl Program gives girls the skills and tools necessary to serve as positive role models in the community.
