    Before you can lead others, you must lead yourself—with clarity, values, and direction. This interactive session guides you through creating a personalized leadership dashboard that connects your strengths, values, and long-term goals. Walk away with a strategic vision for your growth, and a roadmap to get there.

  • This is not your traditional keynote—this is an intimate, authentic, and unscripted conversation with Natalie Faunce (WDBJ7) and Monica Brooks (K92 Mornin’ Thang), two powerhouse women who have built careers by breaking barriers, owning their voice, and rising above challenges. Expect real stories, real lessons, and real takeaways to fuel your own leadership journey and set the tone for a transformative day ahead.

  • Facilitator: Wendy Glass
    Every leader needs the ability to influence—upward, downward, and across their teams. In this powerful workshop, you will learn evidence-based strategies to identify where to gain support and buy-in from stakeholders using tools from the Center for Executive Coaching High-Peformance Coaching Academy®.

  • Facilitator: Katie Beach
    Whether you are pitching an idea, leading a meeting, or negotiating a raise, how you deliver your message matters. This hands-on session, using tools from the Mic Drop workFORCE™, teaches you to communicate clearly, confidently, and with presence. Own your voice and learn how to use it to lead.

  • Facilitator Wendy Glass

    This final session helps you take everything you have learned throughout the day and translate it into a clear, actionable leadership plan. You will identify immediate priorities, set meaningful short- and long-term goals, and outline specific steps to hold yourself accountable in the weeks and months ahead.
