GENERAL SESSION PANELParadigm for Parity Women have an important role in the U.S. economy, making up 51 percent of the U.S. population. Women are enrolling in college more than men, according to Pew Research data, and now account for 47 percent of the total labor force, as reported by the U.S. Department of Labor.

Meanwhile, gender inequality is still entrenched in corporate America, especially in executive positions. What is, and can be done, to implement change?

Dr. Rosina Racioppi will facilitate a discussion with the founding members of Paradigm for Parity, exploring organizational strategies focused on achieving gender parity. Their Five Step Action Plan, which provides practical actions that companies can take to drive positive cultural change for achieving gender parity, is a not-to-be missed eye opener.

SESSION IWomen’s Empowerment & Beyond Survival: Shattering the Glass Ceiling In the public sector, 2018 has been a banner year for women in politics. Inspired by movements such as #MeToo and Time’s Up, a record number of women are running for office and winning their contests, putting women on track to potentially hold public office in record numbers in 2019.

Yet, in the private sector little progress has been made. According to Fortune, women make up 5 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs. The number of women CEOs at Fortune 500 companies fell by 25 percent this year, dipping to 24 from 32 in 2017, its all-time high.

This enlightening session will discuss where the opportunities lie and what it would take for more women of all races, cultures and backgrounds to shatter the glass ceiling.

Treat yourself to a one-on-one coaching session with a certified coach or executive leader who can offer insights and guidance. Advance sign-up is required.




12:00 – 1:00 pm FORUM AOur Search for BelongingThis session is intended for senior executive leaders These are challenging times in which our society is more polarized than most people can remember. The impact of that polarization winds its way into our organizations through mistrust, defensiveness, and tribal-ization. We bond with some people and bridge with others. During times of stress, we tend to revert to our tribal identities. We are neurologically designed to want to connect with people around us. Both the social and the neuro-cognitive sciences demonstrate this.

The workplace is one of the few places that people have no choice but to work with people who are different from them. Join this lively, interactive session in which participants will be guided via a book discussion on ways to increase a sense of belonging and connection that will help them us be more effective at work and impact society in a positive way.

In closing, the audience will have the opportunity to join in a high spirited question and answer session with two of the top leading D&I practioners.

FORUM BLeading Bravely: Using the Power of EMpathy & Self-Compassion to InfluenceEmpathy is a fundamental social skill that helps us to feel and understand the emotions, circumstances, intentions, thoughts, and needs of others to generate connection and good will. When exercising empathy, we offer sensitive, perceptive, and appropriate communication toward others. Self-compassion allows us to practice being kind and understanding towards ourselves rather than “mercilessly judging and criticizing,” who we are in the face of perceived inadequacies, shortcomings, or personal failings. The greater our own self-compassion, the better our abilities for empathizing with others and creating environments of connec-tion, mutuality and understanding among people.

Join Certified Daring Way Facilitators™ Pearl Alexander and Cheryl Cofield for this interactive 90-minute dialogue designed to support you to:• achieve greater self-compassion• learn discrete steps to exercise calm, skillful, empathetic responses to generate good will• improve your interpersonal savvy

Concepts are based on the research of Brené Brown, Ph.D., research professor at the University of Houston, founder and CEO of Brave Leaders Inc, and author of four #1 New York Times best-sellers and Kristin Neff, Ph.D., who is widely recognized as one of the world’s leading experts on self-compassion.
