SF Leaders
For the first time ever, we brought an OKREAL panel (and mentor circle series) to San Francisco. In partnership with Women & Whiskies and Breather, we celebrated women leaders in the Bay Area and hosted a panel on leadership featuring Molly Hayward, Co-founder of Cora and Angelika Temple, Chief Creative Officer of Brit + Co. Delicious treats were provided by Siren Snacks and Pure Organic. Below is a recap of our favorite moments, including this gem from Molly: “We all get swept up in the current from time to time. Stepping back and remembering to take care of yourself is important.”
