Making Your Presence Felt When You're Not in the Room
Room 2 The pandemic has shifted how many of us work. While some will (or have already) returned to the office, some will either remain remote full-time or adopt a hybrid working model. In this session, learn more about how to build your brand, grow relationships, and remain relevant when collaborating amongst a distributed workforce - regardless of your location. |

Leading through Change
Room 3 Two days prior to Women in Industry Day (WIID) 2020, the WIID leadership team chose to postpone the conference due to the rapid spread of COVID-19. This was a massive and sudden change and there was no way to have planned for it. Learn how Stephanie quickly adapted in those two days after deciding to postpone and ultimately developed the first virtual WIID. Using the WIID 2020 pivot as an example, she will share the four steps she took to adjust to this change and provide practical tips on how to apply those four steps as you adapt to change as a leader. |
