Leading Across Generations
with Raven Solomon, nationally recognized keynote speaker, author, and founder and president of the Center for Next Generation Leadership and Professional Development
For the first time in history, there are 4 generations working alongside one another in the workplace. Differences across these generations can create frustration, tension, and breakdowns in communication. This session will engage attendees of all ages, as they learn about the differences and similarities across multiple generations in the workforce, and how each can be leveraged to create a synergy that drives results. Attendees will walk away understanding general characteristics of each generation, why these characteristics are as they are, how they tend to show up at work, and how each generation best receives leadership.

To Lead is Human: Understanding Your Imperfections as a Leader During a Crisis
with Dr. OJ Oleka, President of the Association of Independent Kentucky Colleges and Universities (AIKCU)
As leaders, we often feel like every decision we make is critical to the success of our team, organization, or bottom line. As a result, there is tremendous pressure put on us — by others and ourselves — to get every decision right. This can sometimes lead to anxiety, overexertion, and ultimately a wrong decision. During crisis leadership, as we are all experiencing right now, that pressure is heightened. In this discussion, Dr. Oleka will lead an honest conversation on the humanity of leadership and how understanding your imperfections as a human being can help in maximizing your potential as a great leader in a crisis.

Crisis Resilience for CEOs
with John Baldoni, Internationally Recognized Leadership Consultant, Coach, and Author
Crisis provokes opportunity. Navigating the challenges of a crisis requires a leader to tap into an inner self as a means of demonstrating a more energetic outer self—the one we show to others, the ones who depend upon you for leadership. Such leaders do this by energizing the organization with their ability to connect compassionately in pursuit of shared goals.
