Next month we are excited to launch The Empowerment Exchange, a signature event series designed to inspire meaningful dialogue, connection, and growth within our manufacturing community. This biannual book club series, with plans to expand, brings together women in manufacturing and the allies who support them to explore leadership, mental wellbeing, professional development, and personal growth through books, podcasts, thought leadership, and shared experiences.
Kicking off our series is local author Nic Collins, a public speaker, mental health professional, and writer who is passionate about helping individuals live with authenticity, confidence, and alignment. He is a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and a Maxwell Leadership Certified Speaker. Nic’s message blends his lived experience, professional training, and insights from twenty years in corporate America in a storytelling, relatable format. He is the creator and co-host of the Constant Quest Podcast and the curator of The Constant Quest men's gathering in the mountains of north Georgia, which focuses on community, connection, and growth. He is also the author of Advance: Discover Alignment and Authenticity by Living in Concert With Your Situation.
Nic will lead a conversation centered on mental health in the workplace, with a focus on the experiences of women working in traditionally male-dominated industries. This discussion aligns perfectly with Mental Health Month and will take place on May 12th from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. EST. The session, titled Advancing as a Woman in Male-Dominated Industries, will explore themes from his book Advance: Discover Alignment and Authenticity by Living in Concert With Your Situation, which can be purchased here: https://www.amazon.com/Advance-Discover-Alignment-Authenticity-Situation/dp/B0FYHJPQGL/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0.
Advance is not just a book. It is a roadmap for navigating authenticity and alignment in challenging environments. This is a conversation you will not want to miss.
