Vision to Impact: Building the Leadership Future You Imagine
Wednesday September 23, 2026 1:30pm - 3:30pm PDT
TBA
Women leaders continue to redefine organizations, challenge outdated systems, and create transformative pathways for future generations. Yet many continue to navigate barriers within traditionally male-dominated leadership spaces while balancing expectations connected to identity, representation, and organizational culture.

This session is an interactive workshop designed to empower women leaders to strategically plan their next steps in leadership while building confidence, clarity, and long-term vision for their impact. Through reflective dialogue, collaborative activities, and guided vision board facilitation, participants will explore how to lead innovation, influence policy, and create measurable, sustainable organizational change.

A central component of this session is the leadership vision board experience, where participants will identify personal and professional goals, define the impact they want to create, and map out actionable strategies for growth and advancement. The session will help women leaders move beyond barriers and limitation narratives toward intentional, equity-centered leadership action.

Participants will engage in meaningful reflection on leadership identity, systems transformation, and sustainable influence while developing practical next steps aligned to their vision and purpose. Attendees will leave with a personalized vision board, renewed inspiration, and actionable strategies to support continued leadership growth and organizational impact.
