Purpose Found in Impact, Shaped By Our Stories In this engaging session, Jennifer will share personal stories of impact as a strategic compass for finding and living purpose. This workshop is designed for leaders who want to anchor their work in meaning, mobilize teams around a shared mission, and amplify the positive ripple effects of their efforts. By the end of this session, leaders will: articulate how their personal stories intersect with their professional purpose and organizational mission; understand why purpose is found in impact, not in a title, and learn to communicate that impact clearly. In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, we invite our ladies to add a festive touch by wearing pink, red, or something Valentine’s-inspired!

The Curiosity Advantage: The #1 Driver of Revenue, Retention, and Results What if the most powerful tool for driving your business forward isn’t a new software or a marketing budget, but a mindset you already possess? In a survey of over 700 CEOs, "Passionate Curiosity" was ranked as the number one predictor of success. Yet, in the rush of daily operations, it is often the first thing we lose. Join fCMO and Bestselling Author Becky Freemal for The Curiosity Advantage, a session designed to prove that curiosity isn’t just a "nice-to-have"—it is a strategic necessity that impacts every department in your organization. In this session, we will uncover: For the Business Leader: Employee turnover costs companies ~34% of an annual salary. Find out how curiosity strengthens cross-generational teams, increases job satisfaction, and prevents the friction that drives talent away. For the Marketer & Brand Builder: Discover why curiosity is the secret ingredient to a magnetic "Brand Voice." Learn how asking the right questions builds influence, fosters likability, and persuades customers more effectively than any sales pitch. For the Entrepreneur: Worry constricts, but curiosity expands. Learn how to shift your mindset from "survival mode" to "solution mode," turning market challenges into opportunities for innovation rather than stress.   See why the smartest person in the room isn't the one with the answers, but the one asking the questions that save hours of rework and office politics.
