Business Women's Forum 2026: The Support Exchange – Rewriting the Rules of Success by Giving and Receiving
In business and life, many women are socialized to give without expecting support in return – or to do it all alone to prove their strength. The Support Exchange flips this narrative.
In this powerful and interactive session, Seantae Jackson – public speaker, nonprofit founder and medical trauma survivor – explores how women can transform their careers and communities through intentional cycles of giving and receiving. Seantae shares her personal story of rebuilding life after a devastating car accident, and how asking for support – not just giving it – led to the creation of a thriving organization, a new public speaking business and a deeply connected network.
Using storytelling, research and real-life applications, this presentation engages women to shift away from burnout culture and toward sustainable, community-driven success. This isn't just a feel-good session – it's a strategy session. Attendees will leave with tools to build stronger support ecosystems in their businesses, visibility and long-term resilience. Whether you're climbing the corporate ladder, running a business or leading a team, The Support Exchange offers a new framework for connection, empowerment, and success.
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.
