Women-In-Business Workshops Scheduled In Bucks Co.

FALLS TOWNSHIP, PA — SCORE Bucks County is partnering with a local executive coach to offer two interactive workshops in April aimed at teaching women how to calm their inner critic and think big to accomplish their dreams in business.

The workshops, on April 12 and 26, will be in Doylestown and Fairless Hills.

The two-hour sessions will be led by Susan Morris, an instructional designer, workshop facilitator and founder of Morris Consulting Group. They aim to boost woman business owners' creativity and innovation and confidence levels.

SCORE Bucks certified mentor Linda Zangrilli coordinated with Morris in organizing the events. Topics stem from feedback attendees provided at last year’s women’s business networking event.

"Especially confidence can be applied to any woman in any situation, whether she’s in a corporate situation or a small business," Zangrilli said in a news release. "They don’t believe in themselves enough to put themselves out there.'

SCORE decided to focus solely on women for the workshops, because, as Morris said, "there are specific challenges that women face as entrepreneurs that are different than their male colleagues."

The first workshop, "Boost Your Innovation and Creativity: A Learning Lab for Women Business Owners" is scheduled for 9-11 a.m. on April 12 at the James Lorah Auditorium, 100 Broad St., in Doylestown. Cost is $15 and includes breakfast.

The April 26 workshop, "Welcome to the Confidence Gym: A Workshop For Women Business Owners," is set for 11 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Lower Bucks Chamber of Commerce, 409 Hood Blvd., Fairless Hills. Cost is also $15 and includes lunch.
