Keynote by Marney Babbitt-Pierce M.Ed., CDTLF
The most significant finding from Brené’s latest research is that courage is a collection of four skill sets that are teachable, measurable, and observable. The Dare to Lead™ program focuses on developing these courage building skills through workshops, to help individuals, teams, and organizations move from armored leadership to daring leadership.| Time | Topic | Presenter |

Emotional Labor. Do Women Carry this Burden in the Workplace?
Dealing with the emotional components of work is essential to developing and maintaining an effective workforce. Expectations of emotional labor can often burden women to a greater extent. This session will explore the challenges of emotional labor at work, as well as discuss opportunities to minimize burnout. We will also hear from professionals who will share their experiences with emotional labor at work.
Milestones and Mishaps on the Road to Leadership Gender Equity
Despite women’s gains in state and federal government, their leadership representation at the local government level remains stubbornly unequal. This presentation considers both the individual and systemic forces that are driving - and stalling - progress on the road to equity. This session offers opportunities for discussion, reflection, and action to advance leadership gender equity in both the short and long term.
