Workshop: “Strategic Boundaries: Protecting Your Time, Energy, and Leadership Impact”
2:30 – 3:30 PM ET 

Senior women leaders are frequently expected to deliver exceptional results while remaining endlessly accommodating. Over time, this dynamic can lead to overextension, burnout, and misaligned use of leadership capacity.

In this workshop, participants will learn how to strategically position themselves to set clear boundaries, delegate with confidence, and decline “opportunities” that dilute their impact—so their time and leadership are directed where they matter most.
