SUMMARY:Built to Lead Conference
DESCRIPTION:This one-day conference is built to connect women in the construction and adjacent industries. It’s a great day filled with growth\, connection and leadership. \nMy breakout session: The Leadership Blueprint They Forgot to Give Women in Construction \nSession description: \nHow do I build authority? How do I handle conflict without blowing everything up? How do I get tough personalities to actually respect me? \nMaybe you’ve Googled these questions. Maybe you’ve just thought them. Either way\, you’re not alone. \nHere’s the truth nobody says out loud: most of us fall into management because we’re “good with people”\, not because anyone actually trained us for it. There’s no playbook. No one warns you that the higher you climb\, the lonelier it gets. So we figure it out in silence\, making it up as we go and wondering why it feels so hard. Today\, that changes. \nAnother reality is that most leadership training wasn’t designed with you in mind. It doesn’t account for directing a resistant crew\, confronting the colleague who talks over you\, or challenging a decision from above — all while navigating the unspoken double standard that rewards men for the same directness that gets women labeled difficult. \nUsing Radical Candor as our foundation\, we’ll get brutally honest about the communication patterns keeping talented women from the authority\, respect and influence they’ve already earned. You’ll discover exactly where you’re losing ground without realizing it\, and replace people-pleasing\, over-explaining and conflict-avoidance with something far more powerful: clarity and brevity\, with a southern smile. \nThrough real talk and small-group discussion built around actual job-site scenarios\, you’ll stop managing how you’re perceived and start leading in a way that’s undeniably\, authentically yours. \nYou’ll leave equipped to: \n\nPinpoint exactly where your communication is costing you respect and influence\nUse Radical Candor to handle tough personalities and conflict without burning bridges\nBuild authority that works across generations\, personalities and gender dynamics\nSay the hard thing — directly\, professionally and without apology\n\n  \nEvent begins at 9:00 AM and ends at 4:00 PM local time.

SUMMARY:Leadership Training: The Employee You Can't Figure Out - How different brains show up for work
DESCRIPTION:You’ve got that one person on your team you just can’t figure out. The one you’ve quietly filed under difficult\, checked-out\, or defiant. But what if it was never about attitude and their brain just runs on a completely different operating system than yours? \nWe all operate differently. Some of us need the checklist; others need the big picture. Some want every detail; others just the headline. Some thrive in the noise; others can’t think until it’s quiet. None of it is right or wrong\, but when a leader assumes everyone works the way they do\, good people get misread. \nThis hands-on session is for CEOs\, managers\, and leaders ready to slow down and actually understand their people. Through honest conversation and interactive exercises\, we’ll start to see the differences and what we could stand to understand better in the people around us. \nYou’ll walk away able to: \n\nTell the difference between “won’t” and “can’t” — and lead accordingly\nRead how the people around you actually operate\, instead of assuming they work like you\nHave the honest\, curious conversation that moves people forward\n\nYour clear\, obvious path might be someone else’s hardest day. Come find out what your people have been wishing you understood. \nSpots are limited so the room stays focused\, honest\, and worth your time. \nThe workshop begins at 9:00 AM CT and will conclude at 11:00 AM CT.

SUMMARY:🪑 The Collective Table - A Global Hospitality Collective Virtual Networking Call
DESCRIPTION:The Collective Table is a no-pitch\, no-posturing monthly meet-up for hospitality professionals who want honest conversation\, shared learning\, and real connection with people who get the work. Facilitated by Coach Brittany Blackman\, this one-hour virtual networking call allows passionate hospitality-minded people to join an interactive conversation around the industry\, work\, and what it’s like to live a servant-hearted life.\nOur Purpose & Intentions\n\n\n\nNow more than ever\, people are craving community — a place filled with like-minded individuals where there’s no judgment\, ideas can be shared freely\, and no question feels off-limits or too small to ask. We want to be intentional and clear about why we brought this group together and what we hope you experience by being part of it. This space was created to encourage honest conversations\, different perspectives\, meaningful connections\, and the kind of support that reminds you that you don’t have to figure it all out alone. A good community feels a little like pulling up a chair\, taking a deep breath\, and realizing\, “Oh good… these are my people.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur Community Culture\n\n\n\nWe’re not here to create a long list of rules or make this feel like a place where you need to walk on eggshells. We’re here to create a space people actually want to be part of. How we show up matters. We ask that members come with curiosity over criticism\, respect over judgment\, and a willingness to listen as much as they speak. We encourage different perspectives\, thoughtful conversations\, and asking questions — even the messy ones. Support one another. Celebrate wins. Share ideas. Give feedback with kindness. Assume positive intent. Be open to learning. And remember there is a real human on the other side of the screen. You do not have to agree with everyone. You do not have to have all the answers. You just have to show up in a way that makes this space feel safe\, valuable\, and worth coming back to. The goal is simple: leave people better than you found them. \n\nOur Ideal Members\n\n\n\nHosts\, operators\, property managers\, and lodging professionals who: \n\nHave been in business long enough to know this is real work\, not passive income.\nAre likely around 2–7 years into the industry or business\, though this is not a hard rule.\nCare deeply about hospitality\, guest experience\, owner relationships\, team health\, and long-term sustainability.\nWant honest conversations with people who understand the real day-to-day challenges of the industry.\nAre open\, curious\, and willing to learn from others.\nDo not believe they have all the answers.\nAre willing to share both wins and mistakes so others can learn from them.\nWant to talk about what is working\, what is not working\, what to avoid\, and what they wish they had known sooner.\nValue the people side of the business\, not just revenue\, automation\, or growth.\nAre building something with intention\, whether that is for their family\, their team\, their future\, a sale\, or a long-term legacy.\nWant connection beyond conferences\, events\, and quick online comments.\nAre willing to participate\, not just sit back and consume.
