This year’s keynote speaker is Amber Cabral, a transformational coach, speaker and culture strategist. Cabral specializes in supporting high-performers and executives as a holistic leadership coach, focused on improving physical, financial and personal development in her clients.
“The Women Trailblazers Conference continues to bring together individuals from all walks of life for a day filled with connection, authenticity and empowerment,” said Cartoon Vue Continuing Education business specialist. “It’s a space where attendees can be vulnerable, share experiences and gain meaningful tools to enhance their everyday life while balancing the many roles they hold. I’m truly looking forward to this year’s conference and being a part of this inspiring journey.”
BoBabes Bubble Team, a female owned Taiwanese tea shop, will kick off the conference with a Trailblazers Spotlight. The panel discussion, “Brewing Culture, Community and Courage”, features UW-Stevens Point alumna and founder, Pei-Ying Wang and her co-founders.
