Presented by Jen Croneberger, Founder & Chief Inspiration Officer, The Human Leadership Institute;
Bonus: A Report on Leadership – Meg Pierce, CEO, The Forum of Executive Women
Leadership today isn’t about titles or corner offices—it’s about humanity. It’s about the courage to meet people where they are and the wisdom to walk with them toward where they can go. In this keynote, Jen Croneberger shared her groundbreaking B.R.A.V.E. Leadership framework—Belonging, Resilience, Authenticity, Vulnerability, and Empathy — as a practical and deeply human roadmap for leading in uncertain times. Through compelling stories, cutting edge neuroscience, and lessons learned from boardrooms to locker rooms, Jen illustrated why belonging is the foundation of performance, how resilience is strengthened in community, and why authenticity and empathy are now the most vital skills leaders can bring. This event also included remarks by Meg Pierce on two of The Forum’s signature pieces of research and advocacy: The Forum’s annual Women in Leadership report, and the annual Pay Equity report.
