Through personal stories, she shows how self-abandonment begins early—and follows us into leadership. At work, it appears as people-pleasing, weak boundaries, silence in the face of misalignment, and chasing approval over purpose. Cultures built on self-abandonment cannot sustain trust or equity. When leaders stop self-abandoning, they stop modeling it—and culture change becomes possible.From Verse to Vision: Turning Music into Leadership InsightInfo: This interactive, arts-based session invites participants to explore leadership through music, storytelling, and collective reflection. In this 30-minute workshop, local hip-hop artist Chris Hearns performs an original song centered on bravery, resilience, and overcoming challenges. Participants receive the song’s lyrics and engage in guided table conversations, identifying lines that resonate with their personal leadership journeys. Together, groups unpack themes of courage, rejection, identity, and perseverance—connecting the emotional truths in the music to real workplace dynamics.Lunch + Panel DiscussionInfo: Table facilitators lead small group conversations leadership goals over lunch.The Art of Leadership: Healing Workplace Systems Through Brave LeadershipInfo: This workshop invites leaders into the galleries to examine how identity, assumptions, and everyday leadership practices shape workplace systems and culture.

Leaders will work in small groups with an art educator, using select artworks in the galleries as reflective tools to surface insight, practice accountability, and clarify impact versus intent.Keynote: The Gift of Rejection—From Wound to WisdomHost: Nona JonesInfo: In this powerful keynote, Nona Jones invites leaders to reconsider rejection not as a setback, but as a profound teacher.
