How to Build a State-Wide Conference with Jodi Flynn

As one of the founders and current President of the board for the
Maine Women’s Conference, Jodi Flynn has taken the conference
from just an idea to a successful nonprofit focusing on
supporting women across the state. 


So how did she do it?


On this season of the Coach Pony Podcast, I'm sitting down with
successful business owners to ask them, how did you build
that? 


And today I’ll dig in with Jodi about how it all started, how she
grew the conference, what she’s learned, and what you should know
if you’re thinking about hosting and building a successful
conference.


Jodi Flynn of Women Taking the Lead is an Executive Leadership
Coach, Podcaster, Author, Speaker, and Workshop Facilitator.
Women leaders hire Jodi to develop the skills they need to thrive
in senior leadership. She is the host of the critically acclaimed
Women Taking the Lead podcast, and an Amazon bestselling author
with her book, Accomplished: How to Go from Dreaming to
Doing.

impacted the timeline from the idea to the first conference
