Acrisure's Women's Symposium Features TEDx-Style Talk on Redefining Success and Leadership

Programming example

Yesterday, I had the honor of presenting a TEDx-style Talk at the Acrisure Women's Symposium on the final day of Women's History Month. The room was filled with business professionals and the Girl Scouts of Michigan Shore to Shore.

I was joined by a panel of dynamic women (Vivian TerMaat, Becky Wood, Trish Partin, & Riaka Shackelford) who empowered, challenged and showed vulnerability.

I left more inspired and invigorated than when I arrived.

My topic was "The Evolved Woman: Redefining Success." Here are three key principles I shared:

🔁 Pivot with Purpose: The detour may be setting you up for the destination. 🏆 Turn Challenges into Championships: Challenges don’t disqualify you from success; they define it. 🪞 Your Greatest Competition Is Yourself: Real success isn’t about beating someone else; it’s about becoming someone you’re proud of.

My career path has never been a straight line. It has been colorful with twists and turns that shift, strengthen, and transform. Building my skills, resilience, and confidence has shaped me as a CEO.

So if your life isn't going according to plan, and if success looks different than you expected, know this: you don't need a perfect path. You just need the courage to keep evolving.

A heartfelt thank you to Tynae Richardson, PHR for the invitation and for being the kind of leader who creates spaces where women are seen, supported, and empowered to thrive.
