The Trailblazers
 

Transforming Opportunity Into Impact

Women in Power convenes the most influential leaders across fashion, beauty, retail, and beyond for an afternoon of meaningful conversation, connection, and inspiration. This year’s program will explore how today’s trailblazers are creating opportunities for impact — the responsibility and opportunity leaders have to create lasting impact while paving the way for future generations.

Topics

  • A Generational Attitude Towards Success: How different generations define success, lead with purpose, and navigate the evolving expectations of leadership.
  • The Leadership Gap: Why are there still so few women in the C-Suite?
  • The Performance Equation: Wellness, Longevity & Leading at Full Capacity: sustaining peak physical, mental & emotional performance at the highest levels of leadership.
