Own Your Voice
Speaker: Hope Timberlake
When women lead and use their voice, everyone gains. At times, however, women's voices aren’t being heard. We equivocate, apologize, or hold back altogether. With the right tools and support, every woman can truly own her voice—in the boardroom and beyond. In this keynote, women—and those who champion them—learn physical, cognitive, and emotional strategies to project confidence and own the room.

Welcome

Build a Better Board Presentation
Moderator: Becky Todd (CFO Selections)
Panelists: Rachel Camarillo (Filson), Kelly Kennedy (Independent Board Member), Chris Naismith (PCC), Palvi Mehta (Pioneer Square Labs)
In this panel discussion, we'll talk about how to build relationships with board members, what information to present to your board and how that impacts the organizations strategic initiatives.

DiSC and Dealing with Different Personalities
Speaker: Amy McKenna
The foundation of personal and professional success lies in developing authentic leadership. “Be true to yourself” isn’t a worn-out pep talk. It’s valuable advice to anyone who aspires to be an effective leader. This requires a deeper understanding of oneself and realizing our personalities' impact on others. The Everything DiSC® Assessment gives us a deeper understanding of ourselves and a decoder tool to understand others better.
*Attendees are highly encouraged to take the $99 DiSC Assessment prior to the event for a more interactive workshop experience.
