Swimming Upstream: Identity in the Upper Echelons

Thursday, November 7th | 2pm ET

The role of identity in navigating challenging professional spaces of leadership as a person outside the stereotypical leader archetype.

In this session we will cover:

1. self-defined and externally imposed identities
2. genuine actions toward equity vs DEI as a marketing strategy
3. the imagined dearth of candidates and the resulting professional isolation
4. creating a legacy of your own design
