Robin Rosenberg CEO at Live in Their World	Digital, Remote, Virtual Work: Rethinking "Workplace" From the Ground Up As we settle in the “remote and distributed” reality for the long haul, there are critical questions emerging - how might we foster team collaboration when you may not have the chance to meet your team in person? Ever. What does it mean to be a manager when you can no longer physically “supervise” the work or see the nuances of non-verbal communication among your team members?

Alexandra Micu CEO at She is Mom	Power of Personal Branding The shortest definition of a personal brand is that your brand is your story as a person IN your business, as opposed to the story OF your business. What is your story? How do you tell the story in a marketable way while offering value to your audience? What you’re about and what you stand for as a person within a business entity are attributes that future customers seek when they’re looking for help. It’s important for you to be able to identify your story or even your savviest potential clients never will. If your clients are unclear about who you are, it’s easier than ever for them to find… read more

Colleen Tartow Director of Engineering at Starburst Data	Data, Diversity, and Culture: Building the Best Engineering Teams The secret is out - more diversity in leadership leads to more innovation, more revenue, and better products. This is particularly true in engineering, although harder to achieve in practice.

In this talk I will present a concrete plan of action to help you reap the rewards of a more diverse engineering leadership team, based on 15+ years of my own research and experience. By embracing a wider… read more

Jim and Jerolyn Bogear Leadership Speakers, Trainers, and Coaches at Legacy C3	Mindset: You Are Enough You Are Enough is to challenge the way we think, therefore the way we act.

What we say is what we do. We want women in leadership to achieve more than ever before in reaching their greater potential. Did you like this session? Share to vote.

Huda Saleh Mental Health Counseling Masters Student	Let Go of a Negative Mindset We need to be aware of how we tend to limit ourselves and our potential for MORE by saying we “can’t” do something. It is so important to realize the difference between saying you don’t want to do something versus you CAN’T do something. If you want to do something, you’re going to find every reason to do it. If you don’t want to do something, you’re going to find every excuse NOT to do it. No one could have anticipated this virus taking over the world. No one could have anticipated everything being shut down. No one could have possibly anticipated becoming… read more

Lisa Bien CEO at Lisa Bien Entreprises, LLC	Your Voice Matters: From the Bedroom to the Boardroom How many times have you told yourself, today is the day I am going to do it? Then the day slips by with whatever “it” is still on the to-do list. For most of us, there are times in life when we really want to do or say something, but we don’t. Why not? Many times, I can almost guarantee, it is because we listen to our critical inner voice that says, “You can’t. You are not enough.” If this sounds familiar then this presentation is for you- Your Voice Matters: From the Bedroom to the Boardroom is for you. Doesn’t it get old listening to the opinions of others, or… read more
