her leadership, the Case Foundation has been recognized for its innovative efforts to address
significant social challenges, harnessing the best impulses of entrepreneurship, innovation,
technology and collaboration to drive exponential impact. Out of this work, the Case Foundation

inspiring leaders worldwide to incorporate the principles into their work. Jean is author of
the best-selling book, Be Fearless: 5 Principles for a Life of Breakthroughs and Purpose,
on the five Be Fearless principles with stories of those who embody the principles.

LET URGENCY CONQUER FEAR
Palma Ceia
SPONSORED BY:
Don’t overthink and overanalyze. It’s natural to want to study a problem from all angles, but getting
caught up in questions like “What if we’re wrong?” and “What if there is a better way?” can leave you
paralyzed with fear and indecision. This panel will provide expert advice on how to keep your focus on
action, rather than letting your progress be bogged down with overthinking and overanalyzing every
conceivable pitfall.
Moderator: Lissette Campos, Corporate Communications Executive
Panelists:
Marquita Armstead, Senior Associate Director of Athletics/Senior Woman Administrator, USF Athletics
Tracy Phillips, Owner, TNstyle, LLC

CRASH & LEARN
Esplanade
Great achievers view failure as a necessary part of advancing toward success. If you’re trying new
things, the outcome is - by definition – going to be uncertain. When failure happens, great innovators
find meaning in the setback, apply the lessons learned, and share those lessons with others. Hear
from a panel of four women on their own hard-learned lessons in the fields of philanthropy, community
engagement and entrepreneurship.

this panel comes from a group of accomplished women working in innovation, healthcare, finance and
