Among the team of expert speakers is Kathrine Switzer; iconic athlete, author, Emmy-winning broadcaster, social causes advocate, and Board Chair of 261 Fearless, Inc. ‘Now more than ever, we need to find creative and positive solutions to a world that is changing before our eyes,’ she says. ‘We can give up or we can embrace this as an opportunity to make significant change in ourselves and society.  My whole life has been about finding the positive outcome in the negative situation.  Women just need the empowerment and education to know how to do it, and our 261 Fearless team aims to give them the resources to do just that in these webinars.’
