9:25 – 10:15                  Opening Keynote & Conversation: The Power of Influence

We are all searching for opportunities to connect with people of influence—individuals we can learn from, count on or emulate as we navigate our professional careers. But instead of focusing on our own professional or personal needs, how often do we consider what we have to offer the women around us? Do we initiate introductions, recognize the women sitting next to us, or pass on a secret or two to those up and comers who are standing where we once stood? Each successful personal or professional relationship can begin with YOU. It’s time to own your own power of influence in the relationship-building world—you CAN become one of the women you wish you knew…and that might make all the difference.

10:45am – 12:15pm       Workshop 1: Power Vs. Perception – Living and Leading Authentically 

One of the biggest challenges facing female leaders in today’s workplace is how to exert and leverage their power while maintaining authenticity.  Managing a career, navigating through political land mines while motivating and inspiring others to do what you want them to do because they want to do it requires leaders, especially women, to tap into an undeniable conviction about their own worth and intelligence. This session will focus on understanding and engaging in the dynamics of leading with passion, grace and power…NOW!
