One of Upstate New York’s top restaurants has announced that they will be hosting its next ‘guest bartenders with a mission’ charity event Wednesday, June 8th from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. Gwen Webber-McLeod, President and CEO of Gwen, Inc. and Founder of You Can’t Fail, Inc., will be the guest bartender with all tips to be donated to the not-for-profit organization You Can’t Fail, Inc. The Krebs, located at 53 W Genesee Street in Skaneateles, will be hosting the event in the bar of The Krebs and are encouraging media and guests to come enjoy time with friends while supporting a good cause.
“The mission of You Can’t Fail, Inc. is to provide a multicultural leadership environment for professional women of color, and other young women and individuals who are striving to build their self-esteem and grow personally as they build a successful leadership path. We are honored to help raise money for such a remarkable organization that is making an impact on women everywhere. All of the tips generated from the event will go directly to You Can’t Fail, Inc. and we encourage everyone to come out to support a great cause while enjoying quality time with friends and family,” commented Kim Weitsman, owner of The Krebs restaurant.
Gwen, Inc. is a private sector leadership development corporation that exist solely to help leaders achieve business goals by focusing on the competencies of confidence, competence, courage and calm. For seven years, Gwen, Inc produced the You Can’t Fail leadership development conference to support professional women in Central New York as an event from the company. Once Gwen Webber-McLeod transitioned the event into “You Can’t Fail, Inc. the organization will continue to produce the conference and host related leadership events for women. The conference places emphasis on the concept of women being “Unexpected Leaders.” Unexpected Leaders emerge in organizations that historically would not have chosen them or simply never saw their way of leading as the “right fit” for their organization or industry. The You Can’t Fail conference helps women navigate this leadership dynamic with workshops to help develop their leadership skills. Focusing on this topic has allowed Gwen’s companies to influence the professional development of over 100 women each year for 7 years at the annual conference.
