Language Directions CEO Sharlene Vichness Named Top 25 Leading Women Entrepreneur
ROSELAND, N.J., Oct. 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Sharlene Vichness, Founder and CEO of Language Directions, LLC, has been selected as a Top 25 Leading Women Entrepreneur by the Leading Women Entrepreneur and Business Owners' (LWE) organization. Celebration of this achievement in excellence and the award presentation will be on Monday, November 12, 2018 from 6:00pm to 9:00pm, at Liberty House in Jersey City, New Jersey.
LWE is an organization led by a panel of female senior-level industry leaders aimed at recognizing and mentoring female entrepreneurs and business owners across the nation. LWE's mentorship program allows women in business to learn indispensable tools from women leaders, and to achieve success in their industry.
The organization also donates 10 percent of membership fees to its "Will Fund," a finance reserve aimed at helping women business owners with their investment funds. According to LWE, "less than 3 percent of women owned companies get investment funds," and consequently only "16 percent of total U.S. jobs" are women-owned businesses.
Sharlene Vichness is one of the few women who has broken these barriers. Language Directions, a cultural awareness training and customized language support company, has taken off since its start in 2005. The woman-owned business now offers a plethora of services and helps countless professionals reach their career goals.
Vichness is passionate about the work she does and forfeited her retirement to create Language Directions. Today, Language Directions is one of the few language training businesses in the country and has seen great success due to its niche market and caring employees. Vichness' selection as a Top 25 Leading Woman Entrepreneur not only proves her progressiveness but also demonstrates how empowering and inspiring she is as a woman entrepreneur.
