    Join us via Zoom for an introduction to executive presence with Michelle Lucero, former general counsel at Children’s Hospital Colorado and now a speaker, coach, motivator, changemaker, and all-around rockstar!

    Michelle will be interviewed in a Q&A discussion with CWBA member Miko Brown, another influential leader and founder of Project Ganesha. Together, they’ll answer key questions, including: 

    • What is executive presence, and why is it essential regardless of your career path?
    • How can you show up with confidence and inspire those around you?
    • How do you gain influence in your career and personal life? 
    • What are the seven core tenets of executive presence—composure, connection, charisma, confidence, credibility, clarity, and conciseness—and do they really matter?
    • How does executive presence change with your changing career?
    • How can coaching help you cultivate executive presence?

    Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and practical strategies from two remarkable changemakers! 

    Learn more about our speakers: Michelle Lucero

    CLE credit requested. Program is free to CWBA members. It is the first session in a three-part series on executive presence, professional development, and coaching.

    The M&M committee meeting this upcoming Tuesday, February 11, 2025 will look a little bit different. First, we are changing the meeting time to 5 PM and we are offering an in-person option. During this meeting we are going to help participate in the membership drive and plan the membership appreciation event we have in March.

    The membership drive is the CWBA’s way of increasing membership. We will be emailing individuals with lapse memberships and sending emails to individuals to encourage them to join CWBA. This membership drive will be held at President-Elect Alison Connaughty’s house. You can either come in person or over Zoom! There will be food and drinks at Alison’s. The membership drive is a “drop in at any time” event so you can join any time after 4 PM.

    The M&M meeting will begin at 5 PM though so we can discuss the membership appreciation event.

    Please reach out if you have any questions!

    Set your coffee makers for 8:30 a.m. on Friday, February 14th, 2025for a special Galentine's Day session of On What Grounds? A Virtual Leadership Café. Join CWBA President-Elect Alison Connaughty and fellow CWBA members for coffee, connection, community, and career leadership lessons. 

    Kami Guildner will join us for the February discussion! 

    Let's Talk About Owning Your Seat at the Table!

    Your voice carries power, wisdom, and influence—and it matters. When you speak, you shape conversations, decisions, and the future. Yet, some spaces challenge us more than others, making it tempting to step back or stay silent. This interactive conversation is about claiming your spot at the table, using your voice with confidence, and ensuring you remain part of the conversations that matter most. Because if we leave the table, who fills that void? Together, we’ll explore the power of presence, the courage to speak up, and the strategies to navigate and thrive—even in the face of adversity.

    On What Grounds? A Virtual Leadership Café invites authentic connection with your fellow CWBA members and leaders. We will chat about what is REALLY on your mind right now, and we will be there to support you, in both your personal and professional goals. “See” you there!

    THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSOR!
