Author: Kristin Lamott

Women of Kent Homes Attend WILMA’s Leadership Accelerator This Week

Excitement was in the air as the women of Kent Homes attended WILMA’s Leadership Accelerator, an annual half-day leadership conference, located in Wilmington. This event was an enriching experience, filled with opportunities for personal and professional growth.

At Kent Homes, women make up more than 40% of our workforce, led by Ashley Kent, President and Owner, a true testament to our commitment to diversity and inclusion. We believe that promoting women in business is crucial to fostering innovation, collaboration, and growth within our company. By creating an environment where women can thrive and advance their careers, we ensure that Kent Homes remains a dynamic and forward-thinking organization. Our dedication to accelerating women in business is reflected in every facet of our operations, from leadership development to daily practices.

The WILMA Leadership Accelerator is designed to be a jam-packed day tailored to empower and inspire. Activities we had to look forward to:

Hands-On Leadership Workshops: Interactive sessions that provided practical skills and insights. We joined two 45-minute breakout sessions that offered personalized programming that catered to our own specific leadership goals and interests.

Keynote Lunch with TED-Style Talks: Inspiring women shared their stories and experiences how they accelerated to the next level and stepped outside their comfort zones. These stories were both motivating and encouraging.

Meaningful Connections: Networking with other like-minded women in the community and forming lasting connections.

The women of Kent Homes were thrilled to participate in a day of learning, networking, and inspiration at the 2024 WILMA’s Leadership Accelerator. We can't wait to see the growth and connections that will come from this incredible event. Let's step outside our comfort zones together and accelerate to the next level!
