Among other topics, Joan Lunden shares the story of how she navigated becoming a mom while working on-air for a national TV show.
Bringing your baby to work was an unheard of concept for women when Joan Lunden was named co-host of "Good Morning America." In a session during the 2022 Women in Retail Leadership Summit, Lunden shared the story of how she navigated becoming a mom while working on-air for a national TV show, and in the process became an icon by breaking the taboo around working mothers.
Lunden, the acclaimed journalist, TV host and now adjunct professor at Lehigh College of Health, took the stage with her daughter, Jamie Hess, a wellness mentor, creator of @NYCfitfam, and CEO of The Big Ask Method, at our sister brand's Summit, held April 25-27 in Miami.
Women Leading Travel & Hospitality will be hosting its inaugural Summit June 5-7, 2023 in Nashville, TN.
