Our most recent Women Promoting Success Event focused on teamwork and leadership. First, we watched a video on these important topics and then described what teamwork means to us. Some words that came to mind were togetherness, trust, unity, alliance and respect. We then broke into groups and put our teamwork skills to the test, as we came up with ideas and brands for a food truck. Using our creative and engineering skills, each group created a food truck using arts and crafts materials. The event was a huge success and we are looking forward to more innovative and collaborative Women Promoting Success Events in the future!
