The Smart Talk For Women peer mentoring program was created for women entrepreneurs, executives and professionals to help and support each other.  Everyone can benefit from a good support system and nothing is more personally rewarding than mentoring.  Smart Talk For Women is held on the 2nd Thursday of the month from 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. at Ruth's Chris Steak House in Boca Raton.  Each month women come together to discuss various topics in a roundtable type environment.  Our professional facilitator runs each meeting, but the focus is on you!  Bring your challenges to the table and let your peers help you work out the issues and provide you with amazing feedback.  To register and to learm more CLICK HERE
