A few years back, a worker bee got fed up in corporate America, quit her job, became an entrepreneur and consultant, and later on wrote a direct letter to CEOs everywhere, telling them in no uncertain terms how badly they were living up to the ideals of leadership, caring for their people, providing meaningful work experiences, and living their values. The open letter struck a chord that reverberated loud and long around the Internet and the traditional media. It was picked up everywhere from USA Today to The New York Times. 

Before very long, Pam Slim was writing a book and speaking around the world on how to “Escape from Cubicle Nation,” start your own business and become an entrepreneur. Not long ago, the book by the same name was published, to genuine and generous acclaim.

Pam is an inspirational figure for entrepreneurs, wannabe entrepreneurs, women, and worker bees trapped in dead-end jobs everywhere. She has been extraordinarily selfless as a coach, using her platform and social media savvy to help many other people in their quest to escape from cubicle nation and launch their own businesses. We’re very pleased to be featuring Pam at our conference June 11-12 talking about her experiences and presenting that genuine, caring thoughtful insight and help that has earned her a legion of fans and followers.
