Stronger Together: Women Supporting Women

In this powerful presentation, Jodi Bondi Norgaard speaks on the value and benefit of women supporting women in business and in life. She shares her entrepreneurial journey of challenging the status quo, achieving goals and the mentors who helped her succeed. She discusses what she never anticipated while launching a socially responsible product; the long road ahead of her, the hard battle she would fight and learning that her persistence, determination, and passion would serve her well. Jodi offers strategies for women to get behind each other and provides examples of what the power of being a woman really looks like.

Jodi Bondi Norgaard is the founder of Dream Big Toy Company and the creator of the award-winning Go! Go! Sports Girls dolls, books, and apps for girls encouraging healthy and active play over fashion and body image.
