For over two decades, FOX’s NFL coverage reporter Laura Okmin has covered the biggest names on the biggest stages including Super Bowls, two Olympics, multiple NBA Finals, World Series and All-Star games. But what Laura is most known for, and most proud of, is the connections she has cultivated by building relationships. Laura and a panel1 of leaders will talk about ways to build a valuable network and leverage those connections to make them work for you and for them, so it’s a win-win!

CAREER ADVANCEMENT ...... Meeting Room 160 (simulcasting to MR 159) Navigating the Workplace in a Post #MeToo Era...Now What? (POE) The #MeToo movement has led us to a watershed moment. Cultural norms and workplace policies are evolving. New questions and realities are starting to surface. Anecdotes of men avoiding women have also started to proliferate. Some men wonder: is it safe to take a closed-door meeting with a woman, or to mentor her? Some fnd themselves immobilized by fear. But we can do better. Join a panel of leading experts on gender partnership for a forward-looking conversation about how to constructively navigate the workplace in a post #MeToo world. Together we will explore how to dispel fear and mistrust to create a workplace that works for everyone.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT ...... Meeting Room 156 (simulcasting to MR 157) Break the Cycle: Embrace Your Hormones (LP) Feeling “hormonal” is not usually seen as a positive thing, even though it is entirely natural. But Martie Haselton, the world’s leading researcher on sexuality and ovulation, argues that there is great value to be had in better understanding the hidden intelligence of hormones. In this session, she will clearly explain the biological processes that profoundly infuence our behavior and offer a radical new understanding of our bodies, minds, and relationships. Once we embrace hormonal cycles as adaptive solutions to genuine biological challenges, we can stop letting these changes1 bring us down and use this information to make better-informed choices. Plan to leave less fearful of hormonal shifts and armed with a new appreciation of how hormones can empower you to succeed.

LEADERSHIP ...... Meeting Room 156 (simulcasting to MR 157) Rebel Talent: Why it Pays to Break the Rules (W) From an early age, we are taught to be rule followers, and the pressure to ft in only increases as we age. But conformity comes at a steep price for our careers and personal2 lives. When we mindlessly accept rules and norms rather than questioning and constructively rebelling against them, we ultimately end up stuck and unfulflled. As leaders, we are less effective and respected. As employees, we are more likely to be overlooked for top assignments and promotions. As partners and friends, we are checked out and unhappy. Francesca Gino has been studying rebels in life and in the workplace for more than ffteen years. She has discovered that rebels—those who practice “positive deviance” at work—are harder to manage, but they are good for the bottom line. Their passion, drive, curiosity, and creativity raise the entire organization to a new level. Packed with case studies and strategies for embracing rebellion at work and in life, this session encourages you to rebel against what’s comfortable so you can thrive. Learn how to embrace your inner rebel and break the rules as an individual as well as learn how to manage, lead, and embrace rebel employees.
