We're inviting the women of Forbes Business Council to gather as a group in order to connect more intentionally, learn and support one another.
Our Forbes Business Council Women Executives chair, Kamales Lardi, will facilitate discussions every second Thursday of the month, connecting with one another and focusing on a variety of topics the group can chime in on and find value.
These will be a great opportunity to meet others in the community.
Check out what topics and guests we have coming up below!
What holds us back from becoming conscious leaders?
In this session, you'll discover how trauma healing informs our efficacy as leaders, the misconceptions around empathy and vulnerability—particularly as women in leadership roles—and how being unapologetic about our values helps us create more sustainable businesses. If you're curious about living and leading in a more integrated way, one that's more aligned with putting people, planet and profit on the same level, this session is for you.

No trust, no use: trust is often put forward as a critical success factor when it comes to the acceptance and use of new technologies. But it’s not as simple as that. Does the use and acceptance of new technologies really go hand in hand with trust? To implement trust and AI more successfully, you first need one thing: better questions.

An exponential organization (ExO) grows 10x faster than their peer set by employing a set of 11 attributes. The most important - and the only required - attribute is the Massive Transformative Purpose (MTP) -- the reason an organization exists. Of the other 10 attributes, five exist outside the company and help tap into abundance. The remaining five attributes are internal and help to manage the abundance for implementation. In this session, we'll review the ExO attributes with a special focus on the MTP. All organizations should have an MTP -- and you should too. We'll take the first steps in developing or refining individual MTPs.

The past year has forced many of us to handle extraordinary situations, both on a business and personal level. As business leaders, we may have spent our energy, time and focus on caring for others, ensuring business continuity, or just maintaining a sense of normalcy. In this session, our panelist will focus the two key topics of discussion:
How have you handled the demands on your focus and energy, without getting overwhelmed? Have you rethought focus and energy in this ‘new normal’?
A famous quote by Thomas Merton (American Trappist Monk & Theologist) says ‘’Happiness is not a matter of intensity, but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony.” What does balance mean to you? How do you create balance in your life?
The one thing about growth is it is never one thing. Growth is a thinking game. To achieve it, we must find new and different ways to ignite a beginner’s mind that is open to new ideas and ways of doing things. The pandemic was a black swan event that put an end to business as usual. In a matter of hours, days and weeks, the impact of COVID-19 forced entrepreneurs, leaders and businesses of all sizes to reimagine the future and build a resilient response to the crisis—finding new ways to stay connected and work together to create and uncover opportunity, as well as solve challenges locally and globally. Although some businesses faltered, many more have survived and even thrived because of a determination to think forward.
In this keynote, Tiffani motivates attendees to get comfortable being uncomfortable, take action and find new, different and better ways to grow together now and in the next future.
