2026 Women's Summit - By Design not Default

Have you heard ‘Say yes - it’ll lead to more opportunities!?’ While that may be true, I believe that every time you say yes to something, you are saying no to something else. It’s time to ditch the overwhelm and get clarity on what you really want. This session is designed to help you align your career and life so that you can be intentional about where you spend your time (which may mean saying No to things) to increase your success and confidence as a leader.

With the rapid pace of change, change now happens daily in business and our personal lives. It can be difficult to navigate change when right and wrong get a bit fuzzy. New processes, new technology, new circumstances and new impacts to people must be measured and decisions made as the change evolves. Change always becomes something different than what was originally planned or imagined. In this session, learn how to measure your ethics through change. You will learn how to filter everything you do during change through a simple litmus test. Through the power of story, you will learn from the lessons of other organizations and their ethical mistakes. Lastly, you will take away what is required to manage yourself so that when ethical decisions arise, you have the mental capacity to manage through it well.
