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.
