Last week Levo was lucky enough to be present at the 2nd Annual Forbes Women's Summit in New York City.
The main focus of the conference, which had over 250 guests participating, was about redefining power and all the different ways women are doing that.
"This year, the focus of the Women's Summit is on the entrepreneurship of everything; whether it's a leading multinational firm, launching a start-up or spearheading a social movement, the entrepreneurial spirit defines every aspect of our lives," Moira Forbes, the host of the conference and President of ForbesWoman in a statement.
And the lineup of women that spoke on this topic was impressive, to say the least. Speakers included Denise Morrison, President and CEO of Campbell Soup, Diane von Furstenberg, Bobbi Brown, Founder of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, Shiza Shahid, cofounder and CEO of the Malala Fund and designer and philanthropist Tory Burch, to name a few. Every woman who spoke had great ideas and sage words of wisdom, so we collected a few of their best (short) pieces of advice that you may want to share with your networks.
