Conference Topics
Driving Change from Women Leader's Perspective
Presented by Monika Mangla, CFA - Global Finance Digital Strategy & Transformation Director at Chevron
The pace of change in the 21st century, led by technology has created significant opportunities for the businesses, yet at the same time it has stretched the workforce globally to keep pace with these changes. In this session we will understand how behaviors and cultures are at the root of successful transformations and how a servant leader can help break biases, motivate the team, and deliver results with empathy.
Sustaining Your Genius in High-Pressure Environments
Presented by Annemarie M. Spadafore, Ph.D, PCC - Principal at Powerlab Partners
Feeling burnt-out in your high-pressure environment? There may be interesting currents lurking under the surface of your day-to-day interactions that may drive this feeling. Join me in a fun, interactive discussion of how we can ensure our best self is present in our work (and personal) relationships, regardless of external stressors. We may have more control over the seemingly ‘invisible’ factors contributing to our stress than we think. We’ll even discuss how our problems and challenges may, paradoxically, make us more functional in the short term.
