Self Defined: Cultivating Confidence & Compassion To Become a Woman of Influence
Confidence & Compassion Expert and Executive Coach
Host - The "C" Word mini series
​
What defines you? And, what does it mean to live successfully?
Are you defined by your wins, your losses, your identity, your title, your relationships, your leadership? Are your manager, your peers, your partner defining you? Are societal standards defining you? Or are you showing up authentically?
​
In this session we'll explore the ways that living fully as yourself will help you:
-
Stay relevant - be valued for your knowledge so you're not overlooked for big opportunities
-
Embrace Neutrality - Navigate change & chaos for powerful decision-making
-
Cultivate meaningful relationships - gain powerful sponsors who can supercharge your career
-
Command space, authentically - be heard and respected looking, sounding or acting like yourself
Even more valuable than mastering the technical aspects of your role, is your ability to access confidence and compassion to lead effectively and be a woman of influence.

Activate Your Growth Mindset: How to Make Mistakes Count (Interactive Workshop)
​
Introduction by Taffi Ayodele
Director of DEI & Emerging Manager Strategy at NYC Bureau of Asset Management
Award-winning Social Psychologist and New York University (NYU) Stern School of Business Professor
​​
We all make mistakes—but are you taking full advantage of yours? NYU Professor Dolly Chugh believes the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset lies in whether we believe we have the room to grow, and that includes looking at perceived missteps in all new ways. Shifting the framework around shame and blame, Chugh demonstrates that the growth mindset makes mistakes less likely in the future, saving money, time and effort. Peppered with engaging discussions and powerful insights, this Groundbreakers workshop leader will present a powerfully interactive lived experience, making the costs of a fixed mindset apparent. She’ll help us reframe our thinking to a growth mindset, introducing the best ways to react and build bridges when you’re at your most defensive. The result? Growth for you and a path forward to a team and organizational culture willing to learn together.
