Opening Keynote:

Authentic Leadership

Dr. Jen Welter, First Female NFL Coach

Jen Welter changed the game when she became the first female to coach an NFL team. Not only did she successfully help lead the Arizona Cardinals to win the 2015 NFC West division title, she also earned their respect and trust by forming a strong bond and believing in them—with many of those she guided on the field years ago still calling her “coach” to this day. Illustrating the importance of devotion to one’s team and being a team player, Welter outlines for audiences how authenticity is critical to effective leadership with her on- and off-the-field strategies for anyone who wants to coach their own team to the end zone.

 

Education Session:

Compassionate Coaching through Conflict

Emily Hooks, Author, Speaker and Coach

Conflict in organizations is inevitable. For most, it’s also one of the most dreaded aspects of managing people. But, it doesn’t have to be that way. Emily will share practical tools and tips to prepare leaders and employees to approach conflict with compassion, mutual respect, and fairness. By first demonstrating the values that reflect an environment of understanding, leaders can apply simple humanistic tools to defuse the emotionality of disagreement and allow employees (and peers) to rationally and compassionately learn from challenges in constructive ways and learn to thrive!
 

Panel Topics:

Some successful women struggle with self-doubt and may even attribute their accomplishments to luck instead of feeling confident in their qualifications and skills. This phenomenon is known as “impostor syndrome.” So how are emerging leaders working through their own inadequacies and insecurities? Panelists will explore how impostor syndrome has affected them and share insights to overcoming the plight.

Panelists will explore the challenges of excelling in male-centric environments and provide their perception on ways to accelerate and empower women in the workplace.
