Renee Riley-Adams and Jessica Wakefield — Leading with Confidence and Ease, It all Begins with YOU! — How are you a leader in your own life? Are you running ragged, at the mercy of time and others’ agendas? This session meets you where you are, seeing what you want to improve, as well as celebrating what is already working well. Embrace your values and ability to communicate as the keys to your motivation and action. Rediscover what it means to be capable, confident, and compassionate, both at work and at home. Walk out with passion and Your Next Best Step by seeing and reclaiming your strengths, and revitalizing your support networks at work and at home.
Crystal Arnold — The Offers and Needs Market — The Offers and Needs Market will be a lively community-building event where participants identify and exchange their passions, knowledge, skills, resources, and needs. This isn’t a gifting circle; imagine speed dating meets Craigslist, and you get to decide how much you share and what, if any, price is associated with it. In small groups, people define and share their offers and needs in a rapid-fire process. Unsure about what you have to offer? We'll lead you through the entire process and you can always just listen to what others have to share. There is no obligation to complete an exchange during the event. Through this structured process you can learn to ask for what you need with more ease, and spark some valuable relationships.
Erica Ledesma — Cultural Strategy: A Tool for Social Change — How do we create a more just and equitable country? Cultural Strategy integrates arts and culture into a comprehensive plan to shift public sentiment around social problems or issues. Political or social change cannot happen if there is no shift in culture. Why culture? Culture reachers a wider audience through different ways and it's important because it's where people make sense of the world. Culture affects how we think, interact, react, speak, and even vote. The key to cultural strategy is bringing together key players like organizations, activist, funders, government agencies, and artist to implement long term planning. This interactive workshop will demonstrate how we've used culture and art to shift public opinion and create change in the course of our history.
Lindsay McPhail — The Value of Disrupting Leadership Culture — It's easy to fall in line and follow suit when it comes to leading, managing or owning a business. We see others who have gone before us and assume their path is the safe and proven passage. But what if our truest path to groundbreaking success lies in who we already are? What if our perceived weaknesses are actually what will set us apart and propel our industry forward? What if the experts in our field are not actually the gatekeepers? Join us as we explore the advantage of purposefully disrupting traditional leadership culture and celebrating the opportunity to own who we are.
