Global executive and board director Shannon Nutter shines a light on the disturbing trend of "quiet takedowns," the silent extraction of leaders (especially women leaders) from organizations. Often done subtly and quietly, this behavior is costing us tremendous talent and potential. Embracing leadership vulnerability creates a culture where leaders grow and thrive instead of disappearing. Shannon's early-in-career belief that leaders need to always have all the answers and lead with a "command and control" style has been replaced by something more powerful. "When I build teams, I focus on prioritizing a sense of psychological safety and trust. I build teams who actively debate each other and aren't afraid to tell me when I am wrong." Staying focused and authentic is key. "Don't be anyone else's version of a leader. And never, ever shrink yourself to make someone else comfortable."

Base HQ Co-Founder/CEO Paige McPheely sees leadership as overcoming personal doubts in inspiring teams to see the next major mountain summit to climb, and being with them for every step. Paige has cracked the code of getting venture capital funding by focusing on relationships first in a world where women represent 42% of business owners but receive less than 3% of available funding. She's authentically herself, raising critical funds and growing a thriving business as a mom of three living in a small town with a "behind-the-scenes" personality...yet driving an EA productivity solutions business that has generated more than 500,000 hours of time savings.
