SUMMARY:Women in Consumer Technology 12th Annual (Virtual) CEDIA EXPO Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:Program — The New Normal – Why Technology + Design-Build Teams are Essential!  \nFor the past couple of years\, we have watched how the CEDIA channel and the influencers in the design-build community have struck up a winning combination. But\, what we recognize now in hind-site is that what the teams offered was a “nice to have” targeting an elitist audience. \nThe New Normal – in today’s unprecedented global pandemic\, the real-life value of what these teams offer is in fact essential to businesses; both executives and employees and families; parents\, students and living in place seniors all striving for the essence of human connection that has been ripped out from under our feet. Enter technology on a completely different plane than ever before. \nOur panel today are telling their stories about the real challenges facing their clients and their creative solutions. Q&A to follow. \nPanel Moderator: \nDanielle Karr\, Architect & Designer Program Senior Manager at Control4

SUMMARY:Mavens Share the Power\, Lead With Style and Build Rock Stars
DESCRIPTION:Influential leadership is a philosophy that involves focusing on others by building better professional relationships that can benefit both the leader and the team member. Influential leadership means that individuals can be formal or informal leaders while boosting their employee’s confidence and furthering their success at the same time! \nIt’s a leader’s responsibility to guide their team on the right path. But to become a better leader\, it’s not enough just to take the wheel and steer – you must also be willing to serve your team and assist them in their own journey. An influential leader should have a desire to help their team members achieve their goals\, which includes taking the time to identify how they perform best or being beside them as they face challenges. Take the time to assist in their growth and help them work toward achieving their goals. When an individual uses this type of power\, it’s amazing what a team can do! \nMichelle Burke\, Founder and Maven Maker\, Bossibly\nMichelle is the Founder and Maven Maker of bossibly; she aides young professionals and business owners alike by coaching them to become influential leaders. Using a unique system\, she combines character strengths and core values to help them create a culture of engagement\, which fosters predictable results and accountability. \nView Event Website Here

This year’s Opening Keynote Speaker is The New York Times Bestseller author\, journalist\, and popular lecturer\, Gail Sheehy. In her 50 years as a writer she is the embodiment of this year’s Forum theme. She has interviewed thousands of women and men and written 17 books. From her 1976 book Passages\, named one of the ten most influential books of our times by a Library of Congress survey\, to her five other books on the passages theme revisit and illuminate the stages of adult life: New Passages\, Understanding Men’s Passages\, The Silent Passage (menopause)\, Sex and the Seasoned Women\, and Passages in Caregiving. And in 2014 she turned the lens on herself: she had to write a memoir about her own passages. The book is called DARING: My Passages. Sheehy hopes it inspires young women to dream big\, take risks\, outlive the early failures\, and build toward success with meaning and social purpose by midlife.
