Keynote by Tameka Vasquez:
Organizations today are facing moments when the old ways of working no longer fit yet the path forward is not fully clear. These moments are inflection points: periods of prolonged uncertainty where leadership is truly needed. In these moments, leaders often default to the status quo, even when those strategies were designed for a world that no longer exists.
This session introduces a framework for navigating inflection points with intention. You'll learn how to move from reactive management to strategic leadership by strengthening both your approach to change and your capacity to lead through complexity. The leaders who shape the future aren't the ones with all the answers – they're the ones who know when to shift, how to shift, and how to build organizations capable of sustaining the future they're designing.

Keynote by Tameka Vasquez:
We all think about the future – but we rarely consider how to think about it, especially in a way that expands our horizons instead of keeping us trapped in fear and doubt. Most leaders approach the future as something to predict, plan for, or brace against. That entire mental model is limiting our capacity to lead through what's emerging in the world.
This session dismantles the myths about the future keeping you tethered to the status quo – and introduces a fundamentally different way of relating to uncertainty, complexity, and possibility. You'll leave with new insights, renewed clarity about what matters most, and a more expansive vision of what you're actually building.
Designed for leaders who sense that the old approaches aren't working but aren't sure what comes next.
