11:40 AM A Deep Dialogue Exploring Intersectionality, Leadership, and How to Bring Yourself to the Table

Are you often the only woman in the meeting? Are you a women leader in a tech/engineering company? Do you notice that there’s a certain resemblance in your leadership team? If you are answering “yes” to these questions, you have found your tribe and will gain great insights in this session, which is designed to explore intersectionality, DEI and leadership. In this session, Hollimarie is looking to share some of her personal experiences and open a dialogue on how to recognize and address these key changes and challenges. She will also explore ways you can stay challenged and not dilute/trade your personal brand to get a seat at the table.

·       Why the traditional authority/command led leadership no longer works today

·       How is intersectionality addressing the DEI and leadership challenge?

·       How do we keep our individuality even when it does not seem to fit the traditional corporate style?
