Despite years of conversations and programs by industry stakeholders to diversify the talent pool standing out in an inherently biased environment is a challenge women still face. How have women in leadership roles risen above this and succeeded? What real lessons can we learn from savvy leaders on successfully adjusting their business priorities, reinvesting budgets to drive growth, and taking a smart path to business transformation during times of great disruption.

Supporting Women in STEM

The study highlighted five common experiences that kept popping up over and over again:

• Having an early cheerleader or mentor
• Developing a passion for the underlying work
• Having a job where you make meaningful contributions to society
• Access to women-centric support communities
• “Meaningful” action or support from male colleagues

All were positively associated with making women feel more welcome in the workspace and more likely to
remain in or pursue a career in STEM.

Your worth isn't derived from what you do or achieve. It's an innate, within quality, that only you can find. In this talk, Jessica shares her tumultuous journey from 'always-doing' high achieving CMO to finding her soul purpose.

Learn how she found meaning and purpose outside of the corporate grind. And 3 core principles for how you can tame your need to always be doing to feel good about yourself. Rather, finding your worth through honoring the soul within.

The world has become a whirlwind of change - rapid technological disruptions, evolving workplace dynamics and volatile markets.
