In this series, from the Women's Business Development Center's (WBDC) Women's Innovation Learning Lab (WILL), we give voice to the lessons earned, learned, and gained in the trenches of entrepreneurship by women and minority-owned companies and feature global thought leaders and subject matter experts on the topics of innovation, creativity, and growth mindset. Our mission is to democratize and diversify access and the adoption of innovation and entrepreneurial management tools and methodologies to help women and minority-owned companies realize financial independence and equity by supporting the growth and long-term sustainability of entrepreneurship and business enterprises. The Women’s Business Development Center is a Chicago-based 501c3 not for profit, committed to empowering women and minorities through business advising, technical services and resources. Every year we serve hundreds of women and minority owned innovators, doers, thinkers and believers…. thanks for meeting us at the Intersection of Diversity of Innovation.
