The Morning Leader: The Changing Face of Leadership and Partnership

As the face of leadership is changing, so are the traditional gender roles in the home. Join members of the Women's Leadership Circle as they discuss how you can create an effective partnership to drive your personal and professional success.

This diverse and engaging panel will discuss perspectives of the stay-at-home dad, the C-Suite executive wife, and parenthood as a member of the LGBT community. Following a moderated panel discussion, guests will have the opportunity to participate in a dialogue at their table to share best practices and benefit from the wisdom in the room.


What you will learn by attending:

  • The top tips to help you and your partner succeed as a couple and as professionals;
  • How you can navigate or be a champion of the changing roles and responsibilities;
  • How fellow attendees have managed the changing landscape of gender roles in professional and personal environments.
