Session Schedules and Descriptions
Authenticity: Becoming the Real, True Version of YOU | Amber Cloke, 9:00am-9:50am,
Main Dining Room:
You will kick-off your conference day with learning how to become the real, raw, authentic
version of yourself. As women, we know it’s challenging to be authentic, especially
with the fear of judgment and shame lurking in the back of our minds. This session
will help you crush those fears and become the truest version of yourself. Because,
let’s face it, there’s no one else like you, so you might as well be YOU - right?
From Self-Doubt to Self-Love: Cultivating Confidence & Making Peace with Your Body
| Heather Maio, 10:05am-10:50am,
Main Dining Room:
It is estimated that over 80% of American girls start their first diet before the
age of 15. This percentage continues to increase into adulthood. It is not surprising
that many women feel defeated and undisciplined despite their numerous achievements.
The idea that we have more to accomplish unless our skinny jeans zip has been ingrained
in us since childhood. In this honest and straightforward session, Heather Maio will
explain why obsessing over numbers keeps you feeling stuck, doubtful, and lacking
confidence. She will delve into the science of why dieting does not work and provide
actionable alternatives that will help you feel at home and at peace in your body.
Creating a Fulfilling & Engaging Career by Understanding Your Personal Motivators | Lisa Bouchard, 10:05am-10:50am, Small Dining Room: Are you pursuing a passion in your career or maybe just punching a clock? One of the key driving factors for engagement and fulfillment at work and in your career are your motivators. They are what makes you get out of bed and feel excited for the day. It’s the hidden force that energizes you to work with enthusiasm and ambition. It’s a drive you feel internally compelled to fulfill. It is why you do what you do! This session will look at six motivational factors: Theoretical, Individualistic, Aesthetic, Social, Utilitarian, and Traditional. These factors are innate within each of us, however, most of us never learn how to define and harness them. When your motivators are satisfied, you feel engaged, rewarded, and energized. When they are not satisfied, you can feel disconnected, bored, and frustrated. This session will help you identify your personal motivators and walk you through a process of self-discovery to create a more engaging and fulfilling career for you and possibly your team. Attendees will have the opportunity to complete their own complimentary Workplace Motivators Assessment after the session (worth $110)!
Beyond Exchange: The Surprising Impact of Unprovoked Appreciation on Anxiety | Dr. Laura Carapella, 10:05am-10:50am, Triangle Lounge: Delve into the unexpected power of unprovoked gratitude. Backed by compelling study results, we’ll explore how replacing judgment with expressing appreciation reduces anxiety. Join us for an enlightening journey into the transformative potential of unsolicited thanks and unlock new avenues for personal and collective empowerment.
Playing Nicely in the Sandbox | Fern Chan, 11:05am-11:50am, Main Dining Room:
In the cutthroat corridors of the professional world, where the only thing sharper
than a stiletto heel is the occasional wit (or witless) remark at some else’s expense,
it’s time we bring back the original arena of collaboration and creativity: the sandbox.
Get the practical tools to foster healthy, supportive, and productive relationships
with your peers. Ditch the drama and walk away with three key takeaways: Communication
Mastery: Learn how to articulate your ideas and concerns in ways that foster understanding
and collaboration, rather than competition and conflict; Empathy in Action: Dive deep
into the power of empathy and compassion. Discover how walking a mile in someone else’s
stilettos can transform your interactions, creating bonds that are built on trust,
respect, and genuine connection; Collective Rise: Discover actionable steps to cultivate
an environment where women empower each other, celebrating successes together and
offering support in challenging times.
Beyond Bias: Engaging in the Science of Intersex and Transgender Uniqueness | Dr. Laura Carapella, 11:05am-11:50am, Small Dining Room: Examine the biological variations that occur in human development leading to intersex or transgender uniqueness. Uncover the scientific intricacies that shape gender identity, fostering an atmosphere of empathy and understanding. Join us to gain insights into the lived experiences of those navigating a world where biological differences are often misconstrued as behavioral choices. Together, let’s be reminded that women’s empowerment includes all women and help cultivate compassion for those who strive to be authentically understood.
At the Center of It All: The Spiritual Condition of Mental Wellness | Tracy Perry,
11:05am-11:50am, Triangle Lounge:
How is your heart holding up? With life coming at us so rapidly, from familial roles
to professional responsibilities to community commitments, we are stretched and sometimes
over-stimulated and as a result, often find comfort in solitude. In search of some
“me” time, we’ll choose to eat alone for lunch, walk alone for exercise, and far too
often, intentionally suffer alone in silence. While there are benefits in spending
time alone, such as reflection and introspection, not one of us was created to live
life alone, without support of those around us. There is help, hope, and healing to
be found in connection. What are you feeding? What’s informing your thoughts, feelings
and actions? Let’s talk about it.
Keynote: EmpowHER: Ending the Shame/Fear Cycle Together | Dr. Laura Carapella, 1:00pm-2:25pm,
Main Dining Room:
Let’s go beyond inspiration, and delve into the intricacies of ego-based and guilt-based
decisions, unraveling the impact on personal growth and collective well-being. Join
us as we dissect power dynamics in everyday life, unveiling the tools to recognize,
challenge, and transform them. Through engaging depictions and empowering narratives,
this keynote aims to equip women with a perspective that promotes self-reflection,
personal growth, and collective empowerment. Together, let’s pave the way for a future
where women rise above the shame/fear cycle, supporting one another through the courage
that leads to a journey to authenticity and strength.
Self-Care: What does it mean, why is it important, and what can you do to implement
self-care in your daily life? | Kelly Harkness,
2:40pm-3:25pm, Main Dining Room:
My goal is to show you how you can practice self-care, without the added worries of
feeling selfish or guilty for caring for your needs. These are not concepts I have
created, merely ideas that I have gathered over the years and share with clients daily
that have proven to work. I hope they work for you as well!
Introduction to Crucial Conversations: Mastering Dialogue | Carolyn Mattiske, 2:40pm-3:25pm,
Small Dining Room:
Whenever you’re not getting the results you want, it’s likely an important conversation
either hasn’t happened or hasn’t been handled well. In fact, both individual and organizational
success are largely determined by how quickly, and effectively we speak up when it
matters most. At the heart of healthy and high-performance organizations are people
willing and able to hold Crucial Conversations. In this session, you will be introduced
to the Crucial Conversations model and learn about the nine powerful skills for working
through disagreement to achieve better results. You’ll also learn how to access the
discounted on-demand online course available through the SUNY Center for Professional
Development.
Hearing the Voice Within You | Dawn Krug, 2:40pm-3:25pm, Triangle Lounge:
Dawn’s metaphysical journey began in her childhood, as she sat in her childhood Catholic
church, she would often get lost in the stained glass and stories they showed. Asking
her mother once “what the circles were around each Saints’ heads?” Her mother told
her that “they were halos, that they were all Angels.” As Dawn looked directly in
front of her at the parishioners in the church, she saw the same glow of color around
each person as they sat there listening to the sermon. Not knowing then as a child,
she was seeing each person’s aura. As a child, Dawn knew she was significantly different
from other children but she didn’t embrace how different she was until she became
an adult. Due to a traumatic event in 2006, Dawn learned to “listen” to that voice
guiding her, allowing her to help facilitate closure as a Medium to many. Dawn will
be guiding you in understanding energy, auras, intuition, and allowing the inner voice
within you to guide you on your path. Sharing her experiences as a healer in the metaphysical
world.
Redefining Success: A Journey Beyond Imposter Syndrome | Dr. Laura Carapella, 3:40pm-4:25pm,
Main Dining Room:
Join us as we navigate through the complexities of imposter syndrome, empowering women
to break free from self-doubt and embrace their unique paths to success. In this session,
we’ll explore strategies to redefine success on your terms, focusing on authenticity,
self-compassion, and personal growth. Engage in open discussions, share experiences,
and gain practical insights to overcome the barriers of imposter syndrome. Empower
yourself to step into your true potential, unburdened by doubts. Together, let’s rewrite
the narrative of success and build a community that thrives on individual strengths
and collective support.
Everyday Leadership and Excellence | Michele Johnson, 3:40pm-4:25pm, Small Dining
Room:
Great leaders can bring out the best in others because they lead from a strong personal
foundation. In this interactive workshop we’ll discuss key leadership capabilities,
various ways to develop them, and the unique qualities women bring to the workplace.
Participants will have the opportunity to identify their own leadership skills, reflect
on their own leadership presence, and develop an action plan to improve any self-identified
skill gap. We’ll close the workshop with Q&A and networking.
From Inspiration to Action: Your Empowerment Roadmap | Denise Burbey, 4:30pm-5:00pm,
Main Dining Room:
Empowerment begins with inspiration, but it doesn’t end there. Join us in the closing
session, where we bridge the gap between inspiration and action. In this empowering
session, we’ll reflect on the key insights and takeaways from the event, helping you
craft a personalized roadmap for your empowerment journey. We’ll issue a call to action,
urging you to carry the momentum forward, make a difference, and become the change
you wish to see in the world.
Financial Empowerment = Financial Security | Amy Irvine, 3:40pm-4:25pm, Triangle Lounge:
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs taught us that each level of the hierarchy must be met
in order for us to move to the next level. Your financial life is a bag part of your
safety level. If you do not feel safe and secure in your life, it will affect your
family and belonging, your esteem and any possibility of self-actualization. Money
and emotions are tied together very tightly, it is rooted deeply within us and many
of the decisions we make are based on emotion, in fact most of them. But empowering
yourself with knowledge about your “spending” style and taking monthly action steps
to learn more about your financial life will grow your emotional intelligence and
knowledge is indeed power and empowering. In this session, you will learn: the psychology
of money, actions you can incorporate into your life to change your financial habits,
and a 12-month garden kit to grow your knowledge and increase your financial empowerment
and security.
