pockets: Building New Models for Post-Patriarchal Leadership

​As more people in non-dominant gender groups ascend to positions of professional leadership than in generations past, we find ourselves at a crossroads. Do we perpetuate the leadership styles typical to traditional work environments, or do we forge a new path?

​The era of #girlboss #gaslight #gatekeep proved to us that leaders of any gender can create toxic work environments that prioritize profits over people and principles.

​If we demand more from our leaders than corporate gain, we know that the modes of leadership that got us here won’t get us there. In a world that’s more complex, more uncertain, and more intersectional than ever before, how do we rise to these challenges by becoming the leaders we need most?

​In a conversation moderated by Morgan Evans, founder of Business Casual, we’ll define this new model of leadership together by exploring what qualities the best leaders in our lives exemplify, and learning from one another's experiences in positions of leadership, both at work and in life.

​Featured guests:

​Elise Mortensen, Rachael Yaeger, Toshika Kosako, Oyinkan Olojede, & Nicole Irizarry

​Expect a lively, participatory discussion where all experiences are respected and celebrated. Food, drinks, and good company provided.
