LEAD BIGGER
The Transformative Power of Inclusion
March 6, 2025
7:30-9:30 am
As the DEI movement becomes increasingly politicized, we must find a new way to prioritize the leadership imperative of inclusion that’s necessary for any organization and society at large to succeed. We don’t just need to think more expansively–we need to lead that way too. In her new book LEAD BIGGER: The Transformative Power of Inclusion, former CEO of AT&T Business, Anne Chow–the first woman of color CEO in AT&T’s 140 year history–shows us how we can all learn to leverage inclusion far beyond DEI to elevate our work, workforce, and workplace.
LEAD BIGGER offers a no-nonsense approach to leading outside of traditional parameters that challenges us all to “lead bigger” by:
1. Seeking a broader impact
2. Embracing the whole of your team beyond the workplace
3. Engaging in self-reflection
Paper Power: How the U.S. Treasury and the Dollar Shape America's Role in the World
March 26, 2025
7:30-9:30 am
In her book Paper Soldiers, Saleha Mohsin reveals how the Treasury Department has shaped U.S. policy at home and overseas by wielding the American dollar as a weapon—and what that means in a new age of crisis. She traces that policy's intended and unintended consequences, culminating in an unprecedented attack on the dollar’s pristine status.
Ultimately, Mohsin argues that untethered from many of the economic assumptions of the last generation, the power and influence ofthe American dollar is now at stake. With first-hand reporting and fresh analysis that illustrates the vast, often unappreciated power that the Treasury Department wields at home and abroad, Paper Soldiers tells the inside story of how we really got here—and the future not only of the almighty dollar, but the nation’s teetering role as a democratic superpower.

2. Reset: Reset your strategy in response to changing dynamics around you, to ensure your organization moves from surviving to thriving; essentially, “The Reset,” or how to change, is the heart of SRT.
3. Thrive: Execute with agility and learning along the way to a sustainable, successful high-growth path that allows your organization to thrive no matter what situation you find yourself in.
