Virtual Discussion

Date: Tuesday, September 22, 2026
Time: 12:00 pm
Location: Virtual (Zoom)

Register
This event is open only to Next OnBoard Members.

Event Description:

Join us for our first read of the summer: Break Your Own Rules: How to Change the Patterns of Thinking That Block Women’s Paths to Power by Jill Flynn, Kathryn Heath, and Mary Davis Holt.

As emerging and current leaders, many of us have been taught to follow certain “rules” for success—work hard, keep your head down, be agreeable, and wait for your accomplishments to speak for themselves. This book challenges those assumptions and explores how women can rethink the beliefs and behaviors that may be limiting their influence, visibility, and advancement.

When Strengths Drift: How to Lead Differently Under Pressure

Time: 3 – 4:10 pm
Location: Virtual (Zoom)

Register
OnBoard Members: Free (please log in to register)
Guests: $30

Event Description:
What happens when your best strengths begin working against you? Under pressure, decisiveness can become control, achievement an unrelenting focus on outcome, and support overcommitment. Often, frustrating behavior is simply a valuable strength that has stopped listening to the moment.
 
In this interactive virtual session, executive coach Teresa Caro (founder of Liminist and TED Editor’s Pick) builds on her TEDx talk, The Hidden Cost of Apologizing Too Much at Work. She will connect Unapologetic Prioritization with Positive Intelligence to help participants recognize predictable pressure patterns, identify the strengths behind their Saboteurs, and practice choosing a constructive Sage response. You will leave with practical questions to protect your judgment, relationships, and influence when pressure rises.
