Those sharing their expertise were local business leader Sharon King Davis, Sabrina Ware of Goodwill Industries of Tulsa and Charlotte Lindley of Signature Style.
Davis discussed how to navigate life's twists and turns and encouraged participants to develop their leadership style. Ware highlighted the work her agency conducts in this area, the importance of job training and other assistance the organization provides.
She also emceed a style show of clothing available for purchase at Goodwill stores.
