One of the many reasons I love living in Boston is the wealth of smart ambitious women who live here. It makes it easy

The Pivot: Shift Your Work, Your Life and Your Thinking to Do Something You Love

I'm writing to invite you to an event on October 4, from 6:00-8:00 pm in the South End of Boston at the <a href="http://Boldfacers.com/">Boldfacers.com</a> studio. We're calling it "Pivot." We would love to see you there, and we ask you to spread the word and tell your friends and colleagues who are in Boston and might want to come. We hope this will be the start of a powerful new women's network in Boston.

We're a bunch of women entrepreneurs who want to create a forum to bring together great women in tech and social media in Boston. Our goal is to gather women from the online and offline worlds and explore change and growing your career in the social media age.  We want to bring innovators together to meet each other, talk, and make valuable connections.

Help us get started by joining us for this informal cocktail event (with awesome goodie bags).

We hope to inspire women who are perhaps thinking about changing their careers and want to become tech or social media rockstars, or who are early career women with big dreams. This is a chance to hear from others and tell your own story; we'll have about 45 min. of informal speakers and then plenty of time for talking and networking. We'll talk about the "pivot" and hear from:

Heather Coughlin: from Goldman Sachs to Isis Parenting

Christine Koh: from brain science at MGH to BostonMamas

Karen Rubin: from banking to HubSpot

Roxanna Sarmiento: from classical CPG marketing to building a lifestyle brand

Leslie Graff: an artist and educator who rexamines womanhood

Whitney Johnson, Rose Park Advisors, who went from from Wall St to "Dare to Dream," will close and help us all think about how to take action and achieve our dreams.

The $10 event fee proceeds will benefit the Financial Literacy program for the YWCA Boston.
