Many professional women are familiar with the advice to lean in, but what about the obstacles that make it hard to do so?
All too often, the “real talk” about the challenges that professional women face happens behind closed doors, which makes it difficult to navigate and understand our experiences.
This session, based on Melanie Ho’s award-winning book BEYOND LEANING IN, is an engaging and empowering discussion that can include women and allies partnering together for gender equity. We’ll explore systemic and cultural obstacles that need to be overcome to create more equitable environments where all professional women can thrive.

A growing number of universities, businesses, and other organizations are finding that the tools of the imaginative arts — fiction, drawing, theater — can provide a powerful way to design new futures, shift mindsets, and align stakeholders around a common vision.
