Thought leaders are the opinion leaders and the go-to people in their field of expertise. They’re trusted sources who move and inspire people with innovative ideas, turn those ideas into reality, and show others how to replicate their successes. Who are the women leaders hugely inspiring the whole world today—and how are they doing it? Join this thoughtful discussion around how we can support women thought leaders while creating space for many more to rise.

1 year into living with a pandemic, working remotely and watching the line between work and home fade into the horizon, many of us are feeling stranded on the high seas with no land in sight. How can you continue to lead yourself, engage your crew, keep productivity and morale up and spark adaptability, fun and innovation in the process?

Improv combines fun and function to help leaders and teams adapt and thrive in the face of challenge and uncertainty. During this 90 minute experiential session, we’ll show you how to integrate some basic improv tools into your leadership toolkit to help boost morale and confidence, deepen connections, promote spontaneity and fun, and foster a culture of possibility, flexibility, inclusion and innovation. We’ll combine hands on exercises with short debriefs and coaching on how to apply improv in your leadership development and team building. No improv experience required. Come prepared to play.

Like in Hamilton the musical, you want to be in the room where it happens! Are you tired of hearing how the pandemic has changed things? Yeah, us too but it doesn’t mean it isn’t real. The methods of influencing are necessarily changing. No longer can you simply walk down the hall and bump into colleagues or happen to run into your SVP while grabbing a bagel in the breakroom. The art of influencing must change. Strategic and intentional actions will be necessary to ensure your continued career growth. So how do you do that? Join this panel discussion to find out.

When you picture the worst leaders you know, what do they have in common? They likely lacked courage. Courage to be kind, courage to be transparent, courage to admit when they were wrong, courage to say no when necessary. 
In a post 2020 Pandemic world, more than ever we need leaders who are unafraid to challenge the status quo, who are willing to put the mental and emotional health of their employees before profits. Courageous leaders are not immune to fear- they feel the fear and do it anyway.

How do you become such a leader? Join Jyoti Jani Patel and our panel to hear candid stories of courage, play with experiential breakout activities and learn ways you can cultivate more courage in your life and work.
