Grantham’s dream of an all women empowering summit was held at the Bank of America Stadium Panthers Den on September 17, 2024. Paragon Design was honored to attend this amazing event. The inaugural Bet On Yourself Summit, think talk show, but better. A live audience filled with people who truly cared, eager to soak in the wisdom of remarkable female voices in a venue that felt expansive and empowering. All of this centered around three powerful words that resonate so deeply: Bet On Yourself.
It featured 18 speakers over 6.5 hours — an incredible lineup of women sharing their stories and insights. The atmosphere was electric. With 340 attendees, Pose it Up CLT captured 1,981 headshots, and professional makeup artists from Dillard’s provided complimentary touch-ups. While those elements were exciting, most memorable were the people, the vibe, and the energy in the room. Hundreds of women scribbled notes in their #BetOnYourself notebooks, fully engaged in every moment. Each speaker brought vulnerability and authenticity, discussing their truths and failures. It felt real and resonated deeply.
A key takeaway was the importance of trusting those around you. Molly invited the speakers, communicated their time slots, and then let them shine. It was a powerful reminder to surround yourself with talented individuals and let them soar. Bet On Yourself truly says it all.
