LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ (4/21/22) – On Wednesday, May 11, 2022, Dress for Success Central New Jersey (DFSCNJ) will hold its annual Women's Empowerment Breakfast virtually from 11:00 am – 12:15 pm. This year's presenter is Tiffany Dufu, author of Drop the Ball, a memoir and manifesto that shows women how to cultivate the single skill they really need in order to thrive -- the ability to let go. According to foreword contributor Gloria Steinem, Drop the Ball is "important, path-breaking, intimate and brave." Drop the Ball urges women to embrace imperfection, to expect less of themselves and more from others—only then can they focus on what they truly care about, devote the necessary energy to achieving their real goals, and create the type of rich, rewarding life we all desire. Dufu was named as one of 19 "women who are leading the way" in the Huffington Post amongst luminaries such as Hillary Clinton and Diane Sawyer. Dufu is a consultant to Fortune 500 companies, a sought-after speaker on women's leadership, and has presented at Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit, MAKERS and TEDxWomen. "We are thrilled to have Tiffany as our speaker this year," says Melissa Tenzer, CEO, DFSCNJ. "Tiffany is catalyst at large when it comes to the advancement of women and girls. Her mission in life is to create a world in which women's gifts and voices are fully harnessed for the benefits of all of us. Her mission aligns perfectly with our mission of empowering women and girls to thrive in work and in life. Leadership is born when women are given the tools to succeed. Our goal is to inspire our clients to feel encouraged and motivated to work hard to make positive changes that will lead to a better life for themselves and their families." According to Dufu, "I want all of us to wake up to our own power and create the change we seek. I've experienced firsthand that power comes from having a clear purpose and the passion to pursue it. Brave authenticity, uncompromising integrity, and graceful resilience along the way don't hurt either." The event will be conducted live over Zoom with a Q&A opportunity at the end. Individual registrations are $50 per person. Sponsorship opportunities are available. All proceeds help support disadvantaged women gaining the skillset to get employed.
