Presented by Ginger Curtis, CEO @Urbanology Designs
Given the challenging and complex conditions in which we find ourselves today, we must commit to adapting towards a collective regenerative agenda to thrive.
Presented by Rosa Sheng, Vice President, Higher Education Studio Leader, Director of Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion @SmithGroup; Founding Chair @Equity by Design
Our society is at a critical inflection point. The choices and actions we make today will determine our collective future. This is contextualized by a historic confluence of catastrophic events in 2020 — a global pandemic, severe economic disruption, racial violence, civil unrest, environmental peril and rapid disruption by AI. A perfect storm exposes the intersectional impacts of legacy systems of societal and environmental harm and oppression — still endangering BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, Neurodiverse and other marginalized identities.The resulting shifts and disruptions that we face could result in peril or potential to overcome the adversity surrounding us. Real and necessary progress towards Justice in our world will only be achieved when we are willing to do the work to expose and dismantle the intricate web of racist and unjust policies and practices that have resulted in multigenerational inequities with harmful outcomes for many. Given the challenging and complex conditions in which we find ourselves today, we must commit to adapting towards a collective regenerative agenda to thrive.
In this talk, Julie Miller Davis will be teaching us to do delegation right.
Presented by Julie Miller Davis, Founder @JMD Productivity Training
So many times, women find themselves in a position where they know they need to delegate and cannot figure out where to start. Or, they have had delegation go terribly wrong and thus taken the majority of the work back on their plate. However, we all know that in order to grow, we must delegate and start doing the things that only we can do. In this talk, Julie Miller Davis will be teaching us to do delegation right. Key takeaways: how to stop micromanaging and start delegating; what to delegate; how to set yourself and your team up for success.
This unique talk will provide new ways to define yourself in your full leadership capacity right now, as well as offer tips for how to thrive at the edge of what you know.
Presented by Allison Iantosca, President, CEO, Partner @F.H. Perry Builder
To be a leader is to willingly stand at the edge of what you know. Every. Single. Day. It doesn’t matter if you are the big boss, if you run a team, or if you are in charge of yourself, leadership is a lifestyle you take head on. Living at the edge of what you know is complex and unrelenting. It can be scary. Sometimes we wonder if we’re heading in the right direction, and we lose the certainty of our footing. This unique talk will provide new ways to define yourself in your full leadership capacity right now, as well as offer tips for how to thrive at the edge of what you know.
