This is your chance to ask Suzy — and each other — real questions in a room designed for a conversation, not a lecture.

Beyond the classroom, she's a familiar voice on the Today Show and in the Wall Street Journal, and leads NYU Stern's Initiative on Purpose and Flourishing.

She's a familiar face in Chicago's business community through her work with PWCC, Chicago Innovation, and the Chicago Executives Club.

Cassie Crist spent over 20 years as a CPA and corporate leader before trading the boardroom for the kitchen, founding Cooking with Cass — a culinary and entertainment studio in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood. A dedicated DEI leader and volunteer in the fight to end Alzheimer's and in support of the military and veteran community, Cassie brings a firsthand story of what it looks like to rebuild a career around your values, not just your résumé.

Choose Your Yes: A Two-Part Panel Series

Designed for Women Leaders

You can do anything once you stop trying to do everything.

Successful leadership is not about doing more. It is about becoming more intentional about where your time, energy, and attention create the greatest impact.

Designed for female business leaders, entrepreneurs, and executives, Choose Your Yes is a two-part panel series focused on one of the most important skills in leadership: knowing what deserves your focus—and what does not.

Part I: Personal Leadership
Thursday, September 10th, 2026

Move from operator to leader.

Many accomplished women reach a point where doing everything themselves begins to limit their growth. This conversation will explore how to lead with greater intention by delegating effectively, releasing work that does not require your personal involvement, and shifting from working in the business to working on the business.

Panelists will discuss how to identify the work only you can do, trust others with the rest, and focus your personal effort where it delivers the greatest value.

Part II: Business Strategy
Thursday, October 22nd, 2026

Focus your business on what matters most.

Strong businesses are not built by trying to be everything to everyone. They grow by making clear strategic choices about where to compete, whom to serve, and what to prioritize.

This conversation will examine how leaders can identify the few strategic priorities that matter most, define a stronger niche, and say no to distractions that dilute their brand, resources, and results. By narrowing the focus of your company, products, and time, you create greater opportunities for differentiation, new leads, sustainable growth, and scale.

Together, these two panel conversations will help women leaders make more deliberate choices—personally and professionally. Because meaningful growth begins not only with choosing what to pursue, but also with having the confidence to decide what to leave behind.

The Recognition Gap

A recent LeanIn.org and SurveyMonkey Women at Work 2026 study found that men are significantly more likely than women to be recognized and encouraged for using AI at work, while women's competence can actually be questioned for the very same behavior.

Join us for an engaging panel discussion as we explore why this recognition gap exists, how it impacts women's careers, and what leaders and organizations can do to create more equitable workplaces.

A study found men are praised and encouraged to use AI, while women's competence is questioned for the same behavior. What do you think? Let's talk.

Rooted in What Matters: Designing a Life That's Truly Yours

Join us for an enlightening session led by Jenny Henderson and Elizabeth Khorana from Sparkitect Coaching Studio.

Behind every high achievement is a woman who deserves a life that actually fits. This interactive workshop invites you to pause, go deeper, and reconnect with what truly matters. Through guided reflection and hands-on exercises, you'll explore the values and strengths at your core, craft a personal definition of success that is authentically yours, and map the habits and emotional benchmarks that bring that vision to life. All of this is grounded in a foundation of self-acceptance. Leave with a clear, personal architecture for the life behind the achievement, one that is finally, fully yours.

Date: October 6th, 2026
Time: 5:30pm-7:00pm
Location: Hera Hub - 405 W Superior St Ste 713, Chicago, IL 60654

October Luncheon - Own Your Health, Own Your Future: What Every Professional Woman Needs to Know at Every Stage of Life with Sameena Rahman

From navigating fertility and family planning to managing stress, sleep, hormonal changes, intimacy, perimenopause, menopause, and healthy aging, women’s health directly impacts energy, confidence, decision-making, and professional performance. Yet many women are told to “push through” symptoms that affect their quality of life and ability to thrive.

Sameena Rahman, MD will separate myth from fact and share the latest science on women's health across every decade of adulthood. She'll explore how culture, stigma, and medical bias have shaped women's healthcare and why becoming your own best advocate is essential for living and leading with confidence.

Following the program, Sameena will be selling and signing copies of her newly released book, Brown Girls' Disease?  (October 6). In this groundbreaking guide, Sameena calls for change in a healthcare system that too often fails to meet women's needs by exploring the intersection of gender, culture, religion, and medicine.

Ticket prices increase $10 if reservation is received after Friday, October 9, 2026.
