Growth Summit keynote speaker is “Barefoot Executive”

The keynote speech at the 2010 Ohio Growth Summit, hosted by the Small Business Development Center at Columbus State on June 9, will be Carrie Wilkerson, known as The  Barefoot Executive.

From corporate life, high school teaching and direct sales, to information marketing and coaching, Wilkerson has “been there and done that” professionally and personally. An “overnight mom” to two toddlers through adoption, her priorities instantly changed and so did her workplace. She’s now built several businesses and coached others to do the same while overcoming extreme debt, losing 110 pounds and having two more children, ages from toddler to teen.

As “The Barefoot Executive,” and president of the Association of Work at Home Women, Carrie and her network of experts have quickly become the definitive resource for helping others achieve extra income and career goals while working from home.

The Ohio Growth Summit brings together entrepreneurs and accomplished business owners who provide insight, tactics and resources you can use to grow your business. For more information about the summit or to register to attend, visit http://www.cscc.edu/ogs/
