Women Who Inspire: Stories From Our Community - Find Her Compass Celebrates International Women's Day
Join Find Her Compass for an intimate panel conversation honoring International Women’s Day and the women who inspire us.
This event brings together three remarkable voices from our community to share their stories, lessons learned and the realities behind their journeys.
Dr. Lisa Kilmer will speak to the often unseen work of caregiving and how she balances leadership, family and personal identity while supporting loved ones. Dr. Lisa Kilmer holds a Doctorate in Education and an MBA from Viterbo University. Her doctoral dissertation examined the lived experiences of live-in caregivers for family members with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia. Having served as a caregiver across multiple generations, for her grandmother, her mother, and now her husband, all living with dementia/Alzheimer’s, she draws from those personal experiences when speaking about caregiving, grief, love and resilience. She often shares practical insights on practicing self-compassion, dealing with healthcare and support systems and finding purpose during difficult times. She and her husband Perry live in Stoddard, WI, where they raised six children and have been blessed with five grandchildren.
Stephanie Creed will share her experience navigating and thriving in a male dominated industry and the confidence it takes to claim space.
La Shawn Stanton will highlight her impactful work in the community and what it means to build change from the ground up.
Together, these women will explore what inspires them, what challenges them and how they continue to move forward. This conversation is designed to spark reflection, connection and action so every attendee leaves feeling seen, supported and inspired to pursue their own goals.
