Join Executive Leaders Across Sectors for a Moderated Virtual Leadership Conversation

Dr. Darnell Billups, VP, People & Culture, MD shares how he learned from a direct report the most graceful way to say no that aligns with your organizations’ culture and knowing how to do that.

What is the Mastermind Leadership Strategy Collaborative Roundtable?

It is a moderated virtual leadership experience that brings together CEOs, executive leaders, nonprofit directors, founders, education leaders, board leaders, and change-makers from across fields for thoughtful and honest dialogue about leadership in practice. Folx can register to join each session and become a part of a leadership community to support their transformational work and grow a community of support.

This is not a presentation, webinar, or traditional panel discussion. It is a guided conversation where experienced leaders reflect on real-world decision making, organizational culture, leadership clarity, governance, succession planning, and navigating complexity under pressure. Leaders are encouraged to share experiences honestly, explore complexity openly, and learn from one another through dialogue. Participants engage in authentic discussion grounded in lived leadership experience, not theory alone.

Leadership was never meant to happen in isolation.

Dr. Terri Savage, Founder of Connection Matter, LLC shares her perspective about intentionally building a leadership community when it doesn't naturally exist.

When the stakes are high and the path ahead is uncertain, how do leaders remain grounded to move forward?

Brooke DeSantis, CEO, Love for Lochlin, Frederick, MD reminds us who we serve is our compass.

Many leaders face initiative overload, so how do they create focus without losing momentum?

Natalie Clayton, CEO FairGirls, Inc., Washington DC
