Cidney Falk is putting a Champions Mindset Seminar panel and you’re invited!
To celebrate Women’s history month, StrengthWithin, an employee-led wellness group that creates space for LinkedIn-ers to connect on strength sports and other fitness related topics, is teaming up with Women@LinkedIn and EnableIn to bring a dynamic panel of female athletes from the worlds of competitive weightlifting and Crossfit.
Get ready for an engaging discussion on the progression of women’s participation in strength sports, and how each of these athletes harnesses the power of a “champion’s mindset” as a tool to accomplish goals on the comp floor and in their professional lives.
