Sessions:

Still Standing: Leading Through Uncertainty and Change

How to keep your team steady when the ground keeps shifting, what to say when you don't have the answers yet, and how to stay standing yourself while everyone's leaning on you

◦ What to say to your team when you don't have the answers yet

◦ Make Room To Lead: Using AI As A Thinking Partner

◦ A fast way to reset priorities when the targets move

◦ How to stop taking everyone's anxiety home with you

Running on Empty: Burnout, Saying No, and Making Room

Why being great at the job left you running on fumes, the exact words to say no without it costing you, and how to decide what comes off your plate before the year-end rush

◦ A gut-check on what you're carrying that isn't yours

◦ The exact words to say no to your boss, your peers and your team

◦ A plan for the conversation about what waits or comes off your plate

◦ Why protecting your energy builds your bench instead of costing you the promotion

Who's in Your Corner? Building the Circle That Has Your Back

The best part of the day! After lunch, we pull up our chairs and build your personal board of directors, from the people who've earned a seat at your table to the empty chairs still waiting for the right person. You'll trade names with the remarkable women around you, then practice your big ask out loud

◦ A one-page map of your personal board of directors, empty seats and all

◦ New women in your corner before you walk out the door

◦ One big ask, practiced out loud and ready for Monday


What's included
  • Three working sessions: practical tools from Elisa, and honest conversation with women who’ve been there
  • A great lunch and a swag bag with your name on it
  • A one on one with me in the weeks after, to talk through whatever's on your plate
  • A room of just 25 women
