An Introvert’s Guide: Finding Your Voice and Getting Noticed
Thursday April 24, 2025 12:30pm - 2:00pm PDT

Peri, Meno, Post What? Supporting Women’s Health and Productivity at Work
Thursday April 24, 2025 12:30pm - 2:00pm PDT
By 2025, 1 billion women will have reached menopause, and 40% of women report that new health concerns have impacted their work performance and productivity. Alarmingly, 1-in-5 women have considered quitting their jobs. But the issue isn’t menopause itself—it’s exhaustion, burnout, and a lack of workplace support for navigating midlife health. In this session, we’ll explore the opportunity for organizations and individuals to prioritize women’s health in the workplace—not just for the 20% on the verge of leaving, but for the 80% staying who feel their needs are being overlooked. You’ll leave with actionable strategies to support women at every stage, foster a healthier workplace culture, and ensure no one feels forced to choose between their health and their career. Let’s close the gap and create a workplace where women can truly thrive.

CO-STORM! A Think Tank Designed To Be Your Personal Board of Directors For Life and WorkFew Spots Left
Tuesday April 29, 2025 11:00am - 1:30pm PDT
WHAT IS A CO-STORM? The CO-STORM™ is a think tank designed to be your personal board of directors for life and work.

The success of the CO-STORM relies in part on YOU. 


The concept behind the CO-STORM is about how much we’re able to see for each other that we don’t see for ourselves.

Fresh eyes see our blind spots and filters. They also mirror back to us what’s really going on. There’s a creative back and forth energy in getting outside your own head. A CO-STORMER’S insight can clarify what steps to take next, highlight your strengths, and make you pay attention to what should happen naturally.

WHAT THE SESSION LOOKS LIKE:
We start the session with an introduction to CO-STORMING, instructions, and an overview of our time together. Then we pair you off in groups of three or four. Your group will go off for a 90-minute CO-STORM session. During this session, each participant will have time for an introduction and a chance to discuss their most pressing pain point, project, or idea. Your CO-STORM partners will brainstorm with you on solutions. In the end, we will gather together and recap.

WHAT ARE THE RESULTS?
Bring your challenges, ideas, prototypes…or just an empty notebook, and get ready to take the next step.

You will get new perspectives and confidence to move forward with your project, which might mean ditching plans and go in a totally different direction. No matter the outcome, we guarantee you will already be taking steps in the right direction.

I truly believe we’ve got great energy going in our community you’re not going to find anywhere else…hitch a ride on that energy! - Melody Biringer

WHAT’S YOUR STORY?
