It is a joy and a privilege to welcome you to the 19th annual Texas Conference for Women! Together, you form the heart of this unique community of extraordinary women.
We have learned that every woman who comes to this conference has a courageous spirit, a commitment to SAVE THE DATE growth, and a desire to reach her full potential. We have designed this day (and are growing our year-round FOR NEXT YEAR’S CONFERENCE efforts) to support you in this vital journey. OCTOBER 24, 2019 Wherever you are on your path, whatever the obstacles along the way may be, we collectively have your back. 2019 REGISTRATION WILL OPEN APRIL OF NEXT YEAR — MARK YOUR CALENDARS! And if there is anything we have learned in the 19 years of hosting the largest conference for women in Texas, it is that there is power in community. That is why we have created this opportunity to learn from some of the most successful and intriguing women in America—and connect with some of the 7,500 women here today.
Our goal is that you leave here feeling inspired by our keynote speakers; informed by the more than 100 ex- perts who have come to share their insights about leadership, career advancement, personal development, social media, personal branding, finance, and health and wellness; and strengthened by knowing that you are part of this community of like-minded women.
With us today are high school juniors and seniors; recent college graduates; women rethinking their paths or seeking to advance to the next level; those returning to their workplace after taking time off to raise a family; and more. We honor each of your voices as important—and are grateful all of you are here.

SHARYN ALFONSI has contributed reports to 60 Minutes since 2015. Her investigation of the misuse of jailhouse informants in Orange County, California, drew national attention to a criminal justice system scandal. Another 2017 story on the success of a rural Mississippi school’s chess team flipped a common stereotype. In her first60 Minutes report, she revealed that the Federal Emergency Management Agency was aware its insurance companies had committed fraud against Hurricane Sandy victims. Alfonsi also reported on climate change, cyber security, and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) among combat veterans. Alfonsi also works on the sports edition of 60 Minutes.

Reporting for Nightline, she showed the often-cruel world of the puppy mill industry, exposing factory-like breeding facilities in the Amish country of Pennsylvania.
Before her time at ABC, Alfonsi had been a CBS News correspondent based in New York since July 2004, and was the lead correspondent on many domestic and international stories. Alfonsi covered the school shootings at Virginia Tech and reported for all CBS News broadcasts. In 2006, she reported from the Israel-Lebanon border covering the war with Hezbollah and later, the violence in Gaza. Alfonsi also covered the war in Iraq. Upon her return from Baghdad, she covered Hurricane Katrina and stayed in New Orleans for more than a month reporting on the recovery and rebuilding efforts. Before being promoted to CBS News correspondent, Alfonsi was a freelance correspondent for the CBS Evening News weekend edition, Up to the Minute and CBS Newspath. Alfonsi was also an award- winning reporter and substitute anchor for WBZ-TV, the CBS-owned station in Boston. Prior to that, she was a reporter for KIRO-TV, the CBS affiliate in Seattle, Washington, and was also a general assignment reporter for WVEC-TV in Norfolk, Virginia.

CAREER ADVANCEMENT ...... Ballroom A In the Wake of #MeToo: What the Workplace Looks Like Now (POE) The #MeToo movement is accomplishing what the laws created to prevent sexual harassment didn’t do. Sexual harassment is finally being taken seriously, and numerous companies are working to put an end to it. While this massive movement is a welcome shift for women, it is also changing the landscape for many. What are the consequences of this movement? How should it be discussed in the workplace? Are men less willing to mentor women out of fear? Do female entrepreneurs and potential job recruits have less opportunity because men are avoiding engaging with women? Come listen to this panel of experts discuss the ins and outs of a new workplace with a heightened awareness surrounding harassment.

LEADERSHIP ...... Ballroom B/C Corner Office Success: How to Accelerate Your Career Trajectory (POE) Why do some careers take off while others stall? Common wisdom says that successful people attended an elite MBA program, landed high-powered jobs right out of school, and climbed the ladder straight to the top. But the CEO Genome Project shattered these myths. This ten-year study of more than 17,000 C-suite executives revealed some surprising choices that set successful CEOs apart. Join this session to learn the four key behaviors of successful CEOs—and three moves that can catapult your career. Emily Sheeren, one of the principals of this study, and a panel of executives will share how to: • Fast-track your career by deploying career catapults • Overcome hidden handicaps to getting the job you want • Avoid common hazards that can derail people promoted into a new role

TRANSITIONS ...... Ballroom E Personal Brand Overhaul: Redefine the Way You’re Perceived at Work (POE) People tend to come up with their own perceptions about who you are, what you’re good at—and, quite likely, what you’re not good at. They “brand” you in their own minds. But why let others define your reputation? Join this session to explore how to brand or rebrand yourself. These branding experts will teach you how to reassess your brand—in person and online—and adjust your communication to attract high-profile projects, solidifying your reputation as a leader.

EMERGING PROFESSIONALS ...... Ballroom F/G Get Paid What You’re Worth (POE) Texas women who work full time have seen little headway when it comes to closing the gender gap in pay. Women are the majority of today’s college graduates, but less than a quarter make it past middle management. And we are being paid 80 percent of what men make. Now is the time to change this staggering reality. Whether you’re interviewing for a new job or want a raise in a current one, this panel of experts will discuss how to prepare, best ways to present yourself, and what to say when you’re getting pushback during a negotiation.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT ...... Meeting Room 18 (simulcast in MR 12) Transform Your Working Life: The Science Behind How to Have a Good Day (W) Whether we have a good day or not depends partly on things we can’t control—perhaps we run into an unexpected crisis, or our colleagues seem unusually cranky. But behavioral science shows us that many things that seem “fixed” or “random” can be surprisingly strongly influenced by our own actions, once we understand just a little of how the brain works. Caroline Webb, economist and former partner at consulting powerhouse McKinsey, will demonstrate how tiny tweaks to our daily routines can transform our experience of what happens around us, the number of hours in the day, our level of intelligence, and even other people’s moods. She will teach you to be at your best under pressure, equipping you to handle common challenges such as coworker conflicts and pressing deadlines. Learn how to change your “luck” and obtain more control over the quality of your days. You will leave armed with the power to transform your approach for boosted workplace performance and enjoyment.

In this ses- sion, she will clearly explain the biological processes that profoundly influence our behavior and offer a radical new understanding of our bodies, minds, and relationships.

This ensures each discus- sion is truly personalized and allows attendees to ask questions relevant to growing their unique skillsets. We encourage attendees to come with questions. Roundtables are limited to ten people per topic and are first-come, first-served. We encourage you to come early to guarantee your spot. We will offer each roundtable a total of three times so attendees can participate in multiple discus- sions on different topics, and to ensure that participants have other opportunities to join should their first-choice table fill up fast. Roundtables will take place at the following times: 3:00 PM – 3:30 PM 3:35 PM – 4:05 PM 4:10 PM – 4:40 PM
