WOMEN OF ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS
Keynote Speaker: Courtney Misener
Courtney is a writer, professional speaker, and emotional health rebel. An advocate for emotional wellness and truth telling. She served as the Director of Programs and Engagement at House of Hope in Cedar Rapids for four years before recently leaving to teach Boundaries and Emotional Health at a corporate level. Courtney is a rockstar/pastor’s wife and the head negotiator and fangirl of three spunky boys. Between football games, hip-hop dance recitals and work, you can find Courtney dancing in grocery store aisles doing everything she can to embarrass her kids. Courtney has worked with non-profits, start-ups, and companies both small and large, to provide tools that promote emotional health, respectful communication, awareness around depression and empathy, self-love and boundaries. An Iowa transplant, originally from Tennessee, her southern roots will hopefully make you feel like you’re entering a conversation with a friend.
