Solidarity & Synergies: Toward Bigger, Better, Bolder Actions 

A creative confluence of leaders, thinkers, doers, change makers, influencers, decision makers, from across five continents, this magnum opus     networking event made us feel bigger, better and bolder toward taking the leaps of faith we need and forging a future we seek; all with the signature vibe and tribe of sisterhood that’s so integral to our inspiration as a collective community from across countries and cultures. 

 Convenors: We extend our utmost gratitude and deepest appreciation to Convenors of the meetings, Mar Introini, G100 Global Chair – Global Networking, and Linda Pereira, G100 Global Chair – Communication & Advocacy.

TESTIMONIALS

“I like to share my thoughts about what G100 event was for me. First, tell you that G100 is very different from other events, executive summits, professional events… etc. Why is so different? Because G100 is not an EGO PARADE! G100 is an event made and organize by REAL humans, real stories of real life, real hearts, to real humans. The speakers, each one of them, shared with us their true stories of failures, victories, and learnings. They share with us, with expertise, honesty, and great advices their resilience and their strength. They all show COMMITMENT in what the real meaning of Networking is. Knowing someone that maybe lives in the same country or in a different continent, but we can be connected, and most important help each other to move forward to a new and better level. It opens our MINDS!!!

So, G100 offered us, in 4 days, a full schedule of content, good food and coffee, and a very professional organization, a great opportunity to Network and be all together, no matter the language, our believes or even the color of our skin. So that’s why I said G100 is not an Ego Parade, is a Parade of resilient, brilliant, humble, success and great human beings!

What I learned the most:

1- I’m not selling just a product: I’m selling my dream!

2- People “buy” real people, someone they can TRUST and do business with

3- Be the Master of your own Masterpiece!

4- Be the motor of your boat not an anchor!

5- Learn to say NO! specially if the proposition will distract you from your PURPOUSE

6- Feed your INNER self not only your body, not only your wallet!

7- Be grateful every day

8- Applauded some one every day

9- Imperfection is not always bad!

10- Be CREATIVE

Well, my special thanks to dear Harbeen Rai, Mar Introini, and Linda Pereira.

I truly want to return next year and serve you all as much I can, you deserve a big of an applause! Special thanks to the beautiful team of girls that help us and assist us all the time, Alexandra, Maria, Rose, the Photographer everyone!! Excuse me if I’m forgetting a name…From my heart: THANKS!” – Blanca, Founder, Nena-Selected Coffee, Colombia
