9:15 - 10:15 AM CONCURRENT SESSIONS Helping Women Lead, Achieve & Take Their Place at the Table Palma Ceia A 2012 report by the Credit Suisse Research Institute, Gender Diversity and Corporate Performance, showed that businesses are more successful with women in the boardroom. Following a 2012 study of 2,400 companies globally, the Institute found that net income growth over the past six years averaged 14 percent in companies with women directors, eclipsing their counterparts without female board members, which posted only 10 percent growth. Catalyst, a research group focused on women’s advancement to senior leadership, found that Fortune 500 companies with more women directors outperformed those with fewer women board members on a broad range of financial indicators. So why does half the population constitute only 17 percent of the representation on Fortune 500 corporate boards? Join us as we convene a solutions oriented conversation on this topic, helping you identify the core competencies necessary for successful board leadership, and determine the best path to attaining appointment to a corporate board seat. PANELISTS: Marie Tomassi, Managing Shareholder, Trenam Law Gail Auerbach, Senior Vice President of Human Resources, Masonite Jessica Blume, Director, Publix Super Markets Inc. Alex Sink, Former Chief Financial Officer, State of Florida Jennifer Steans, President and CEO, Financial Investments Corporation Staying Relevant...On Purpose Esplanade The cyclical nature of women’s lives means that we are constantly going through a series of transitions physically and mentally. Yet PRESENTED BY: while Americans now live stronger and healthier lives, and more and more women are embracing transition, aging still carries negative connotation. Our culture is constantly promoting anti-aging products and cosmetic procedures to present the possibility of looking youthful in order to feel good about ourselves. Why do we need to look young to feel good? Why not learn to embrace who we are, even the physical imperfections? Rather than focusing on the appearance aspect of aging, this session will explore how daily doses of fun can improve brain functioning and memory, boost physical and emotional health and enhance social connection – all of which allow us to enjoy life at any age. Participants will walk away from this session with a lot of laughs and also practical takeaways for a light-hearted approach to remain youthful in mind/body and spirit and to tackle the 50+ transition by thriving and not just surviving. PANELISTS: Bevan Gray-Rogel, President & Founder, Encore of Tampa Bay Patricia M. Fuller, Ph.D., Director, Wellness Engineering, Baldwin Krystyn Sherman Partners Jules Lewis Gibson, President, FUSE Media + Marketing Elana Schrader, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Florida Blue The Art of Talking About Yourself University Club PRESENTED BY: Whether you are trying to ace a job interview, sign a new client or land a promotion, it is critical to sell yourself. Professionals often fall into the trap of regurgitating bullets about their past jobs instead of sharing the value they can offer as a result of their experiences. Bringing together a diverse group of powerhouse women, this interactive session will share best practices and lessons learned from experts around branding, talking about yourself and selling yourself. PANELISTS: Lauren Key, Vice President of Marketing, Florida Hospital West Florida Region Claire Lessinger, Director of Special Events, Tampa Bay Sports Commission Deiah Riley, Anchor, ABC Action News Kathleen Shanahan, Chair, Ground Work Solutions, Inc. 11 TH ANNUAL WLP FALL SYMPOSIUM 9
