Jeanette Bennett
"Why Being a Mom and a Woman Are Your Biggest Assets"
Running a business for 20 years has shown Jeanette Bennett that she had been taught lies. It’s not a man’s world. There is no permanent glass ceiling. And motherhood/running a household is the ideal preparation for running a business.
Mama of five, Jeanette is founder and editor-in-chief at Bennett Communications, where she primarily focuses her pen on Utah Valley Magazine, BusinessQ Magazine and Prosper Magazine. Jeanette earned a bachelor’s and master’s degree in journalism from BYU and has been a regular guest on HuffPostLive.
Jeanette has a love/hate relationship with deadlines, half marathons and the stock market — and she has a love/love relationship with glossy pages, watching her kids play sports and enjoying Utah’s canyons. She and her husband, Matt, are raising their five children. Follow her beautiFULL life at @jeanettewbennett.
Meet our panel who will lead 10+ hours of business training/implementation and yoga class.
