Keynote #1

Reimagine Connection to Accelerate Action

In the age of AI and hybrid workplaces, an astounding 43% of employees report feeling disconnected from their colleagues. Disconnection leads to no diversity of thought, an epidemic of loneliness and collaboration breaking down – and it’s felt more strongly by women.

When we reimagine our roles, policies and advocates, we can harness the power of the collective to rebuild connection and empower others to take action.

This IWD, lets discover the role you play in empowering connection, harnessing the power of women and elevating equity a little more everyday at work.

Keynote #2

R.I.P. Imposter Syndrome

The World Economic Forum estimates it will take 134 years (more than 5 generations!) to reach gender parity. So, how can we close this gap sooner to experience more innovation, diversity of thought and a sense of belonging in our workplaces?

Let’s destroy one of the biggest limiting factors for women and people of color – Imposter Syndrome. This keynote is a motivating, practical conversation about recognizing, managing and overcoming imposter syndrome.

Together, we’ll explore why 82% of us struggle with feeling like an imposter, how to shift the narrative, and actionable tools to silence that inner critic.

Keynote #3

Own Your Difference

In a volatile market, teams are juggling competing priorities, employees are battling “survivor guilt” and employee engagement is at an all time low. The mood of sadness and defeat is growing in organizations and it’s resulting in a lack of innovation, declining competitiveness and career stagnation. It’s time to pivot.

In this energizing keynote, discover the step-by-step strategies to unleash human potential and help your teams leverage their talents, strategically connect and cut through the noise to own their value more everyday at work.

Walk away feeling inspired, empowered and equipped with the tools to change the way you lead starting today.
