9:00 AM - 10:00 AM | YOU Are the Alchemist: The Transformative Power of Authentic Leadership

This frank and transparent keynote will explore the challenges we all face in the day-to-day of being ourselves at work, and the delicate balance of showing up and leading authentically - without "authenticating" ourselves out of a job. We will acknowledge some of the layered and intersectional differences in the workforce that can make "being your authentic self at work" harder for some than it is for others. Finally, we will tackle the responsibility leaders have to be a real human being - and the incredible power they have to make those they lead feel safe, seen, understood and included.
