My advice to young women in leadership, is be prepared to learn, be brave and to try. Always have humility, be determined to work harder than anyone else and always strive to exceed expectations.

Sarah Sonnenberg

YPO has been a major part of my and my families lives for many years. We have learned from the experiences in many ways. The benefits have helped me to have a better business, and to be a better person. By helping others help themselves, we help ourselves. Thank you YPO for all the opportunities, friends and ideas.
