SEI Women’s Network Third Annual Leadership Summ

OAKS, Pa., Dec. 21, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SEI (NASDAQ: SEIC ) Women’s Network hosted its third annual Leadership Summit on Dec. 7 at the company’s corporate headquarters in Oaks, PA. This year’s summit, “Beyond Boundaries,” featured a variety of presentations, panel discussions, and breakout sessions focusing on leadership, risk-taking, and personal brand development. More than 250 business professionals from SEI and the Philadelphia area attended the event.

“The Leadership Summit’s success is evidenced by its growing attendance and active participation by the attendees,” said Vivian Estadt, President of SEI Women’s Network. “We are honored to host this event and provide a forum for our area’s leaders to encourage professional and personal development for women in the workforce.”

The conference kicked off with its high-impact “Three Talks. Three Ideas. One Hour.” The TED-talk-style session featured three speakers, including TED Content Director Kelly Stoetzel. Each person took 20 minutes to cover topics that addressed eliminating self-imposed limits, delivering memorable and inspirational content, and taking risks to encourage personal and professional growth. The session ended with all three speakers participating in a rapid-fire Q&A with the audience.

Attendees chose from four topics for the afternoon breakout sessions:

• Making the most of workforce generations and strategies to better manage a multi-generational team
• Boosting experience beyond corporate walls by serving on a board
• Taking control of personal finances, and
• Positioning oneself for the next opportunity through risk-taking, personal brand leverage, and a strong network of advocates

Breakout sessions were led by business leaders from SEI, the Arts and Business Council of Greater Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Zoo, Thrive Wealth Management, and Legacy Care Wealth.

Kathleen McQuiggan of PAX World, concluded the event with a keynote address focused on managing passion, purpose, and profession. She encouraged the audience to learn the value of relationship capital when navigating and building a career.

Participants attended a cocktail reception after the conference’s closing remarks, where they networked and further reflected on the day’s leadership advice.
