Next Level Women Leaders 🎙 Live at QuickBooks Connect

December 12, 2019 / 28:32/E146

Three of the four women behind Next Level Women Leaders take a seat at our table during this year's QuickBooks Connect. Co-founders Laura Tully, Nancy Buffington, and Stacy Ennis, along with Abbey Louie created a training/coaching/motivating platform to help bridge gaps and teach women how to find their power. We talk about the challenges women face in leadership, ethnic and gender issues, and how these women plan to make an impact through their platform.
