Business Women's Forum 2026 | Leading Through the Storm: How Women Leaders Navigate Challenge and Change
In today’s high-demand environment, resilience isn’t just about bouncing back—it’s about how leaders continue to make decisions, support their teams, and move forward when challenges are ongoing and the pressure doesn’t let up.
This dynamic panel of accomplished women leaders will explore what resilience looks like in real time. Through candid conversation, they will share how they navigate competing priorities, make tough calls without perfect information, and maintain focus in the face of constant change. Rather than looking back on past hardships, this discussion centers on how leaders operate in the midst of uncertainty.
Panelists will offer practical insight into sustaining energy, setting boundaries, and leading with clarity and consistency—even when the path forward is evolving. Attendees will walk away with actionable strategies to strengthen their leadership approach, adapt under pressure, and lead with steadiness in complex environments.
Please Note: If you are attending the event with a friend/colleague, you won't be sitting together at lunch. This is primarily a networking event and we purposely separate people to encourage networking.
