Shaping the Future of Inclusive Leadership

Leadership isn’t just about holding a position; it’s about creating impact. It’s time to bridge the gap between traditional leadership and a future where everyone’s voice holds weight. A future where workplaces are reshaped for the better and inclusivity becomes a standard across all organizations.

Facing Modern Leadership Challenges Head-On

The Simmons Leadership Conference equips you with strategies to rise above these challenges. We’re here to help you lead with authenticity, resilience, and most importantly, impact. Discover our impact over the years.

We understand the barriers today’s leaders face:
Navigating rapid changes in the global business landscape.
Struggling to foster inclusivity and understanding in diverse teams.
Balancing personal well-being with professional demands.

  • ENGAGE with thought leaders driving impact.
  • NETWORK with leaders fostering change.
  • ACCESS tools to revolutionize your workplace culture.
  • EXPERIENCE inspiration like never before.
  • ADVOCATE for genuine, equity-driven leadership.
  • CELEBRATE your commitment to the future of inclusive leadership.

Gloria Steinem

Our aim for this transformative conversation is to create meaning for all around Allyship – and especially the phenomenally important strides we need to make in fostering a new era of Allyship for women. We can’t think of a better power duo to speak truth about what’s so on the hard stuff – and give insight into the inclusive leadership needed - to bring to life a world where half the world’s population are indeed half the world’s leaders.
