Efe Fruci Founded Bigger Ideas Conference to be Held Next Month

Global women leaders from all corners of the world will gather next month to aid fellow women turn their small ideas into something big.

The Bigger Ideas conference is a one-day event that promises to present attendees with practical tools to succeed in life, career and business. The useful information will be relayed in mini-sessions conducted by panels of more than 20 accomplished women leaders.

The conference is conceptualised by Efe Fruci, a confidence and career coach consultant. She is also the founder of Odihi, an organization that supports BIPOC women and girls. Her objective with the conference was to find ways to give women the support they need to go after their goals.

The Bigger Ideas conference will offer lessons on leadership, entrepreneurship, career transition, wellness and finance.

Fruci said the focus of the conference will be to give women a chance to connect with a host of mentors. “The support of mentors is huge. That is everything, I would say,” said Fruci, who had few people to guide her growing up.

“I didn't really have that many mentors, outside of my mom. A lot of people were not really supportive. This is what my student advisor said to me when I asked her for a recommendation letter to (the University of) Oxford: ‘They're not looking for someone like you in Oxford. I don't know why you would ever want to move there, maybe you should look for a lesser school that you can also afford,’” recalled Fruci.
