Visionary Speaker: Lauren McCann
Impact Table Visionary Speaker Sessions are private member and invite-only gatherings that bring respected women leaders in impact to share about their personal leadership and impact journey and important lessons learned along the way.
Our guests share an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at their own leadership and impact journey and share tips and tools they’ve learned, giving members the real talk, connection and truth we all crave and inspiration you can take with you on your own path.
Following the speaker’s share is an open Q&A with the speaker and time for members to break out into small groups.
About Impact Table Visionary Speaker Sessions
Too many women in social impact are under-resourced and under-supported, navigating their leadership and impact journey alone, or in a silo. We know, doing the world’s most important work isn’t a solo gig. One way we can stop patching together a leadership journey built on trial and error and instinct alone is to listen and learn from others share the truth behind how they’ve navigated own leadership and impact journey, and share about our own experiences. Through Impact Table Visionary Speaker Sessions, we remove the veil and the misconceptions of what it takes to lead an impact journey that truly transforms lives and we inspire and equip Impact Table members to elevate their own leadership.
