On Thursday, September 7, Robyn will present to Intapp’s Women’s Interest Network by special invitation from her friend and #FollowFriday feature, Lavinia Calvert.
In 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown, Robyn Addis was looking for a lifeline. Like many of us, she was separated from family and friends, feeling deeply isolated. On top of that, Robyn was in the process of healing after several back-to-back years of personal and professional struggles that had left her feeling not just physically isolated, but emotionally alone as well.
Then one day in October 2020, Robyn shared the first of what would grow to more than 100 LinkedIn posts in her #FollowFriday series, surprising a professional woman or ally with a public affirmation of what made that individual outstanding. Professional accomplishments, personal anecdotes, and special little habits Robyn had noticed and which stuck out to her about each person. The groundswell of support and positive sentiment that grew out of this random act ultimately led Robyn to create the #FollowFriday International Women’s Day Conference.
Hear Robyn share the story of what led her to that pivotal moment, how she consciously chose to be a positive force for uplifting and supporting other women, and how you can make your own positive impact in your community.
