Drive Yourself Forward: Be Unstoppable in Leadership & Life

Featuring Guest Speaker, Ann Collins

As a female leader, whether you're just emerging or already in the C-suite, the evolving landscape of remote work, talent shortages, automation, and AI may leave you feeling torn between competing priorities. You might find yourself asking, "How can I best support my team?" Or perhaps the shifting dynamics of your industry have you considering, "What’s my next career move?"

In Drive Yourself Forward: Be Unstoppable in Leadership and Life, Ann Collins draws on over two decades of leadership experience to share the six key principles that have shaped her career. She reveals how focusing on progress, not perfection, has empowered her to overcome roadblocks and stay on course, no matter the challenges. Using the metaphor of driving a bus, Ann taps into her expertise in the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) to show women leaders how to take the wheel of their careers, organizations, and personal lives. Attendees will learn how to make a greater impact, thrive amidst uncertainty, and experience more joy and fulfillment along the way.


After this session, participants will be able to…

  • "Never give up the wheel of your bus" – Maintain control over your path, even when well-meaning colleagues, friends, or family momentarily veer you off course.
  • Gain clarity on your career journey – Assess where you are and make decisions, big or small, with confidence.
  • Create your "passenger list" – Identify mentors, friends, and colleagues who will support you, provide guidance, and offer constructive feedback along the way.
  • Anticipate roadblocks – Prepare for the unexpected challenges and pivots on your career track, so you can adapt and enjoy the journey.
