LEADERSHIP EVOLVED

Join Rick Rittmaster, Strategic Talent Partners (STP), for a session that explores what resilient leadership requires in a business environment defined by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity.  Drawing from STP’s Growth Leadership Model™ and Rick’s long-standing perspective on sustainable leadership, the workshop will show how you can move beyond outdated habits to build stronger, more adaptable teams, foster healthier cultures, and create the capacity needed to sustain performance over time. Just as important, you’ll examine the real business risks and cost of not evolving—burnout, disengagement, talent strain, and declining results—and how to avoid them.

Key Takeaways:

• Why traditional leadership approaches often fall short in today’s business environment — and what to do instead.
• The costs and risks of failing to lead with resiliency to yourself, your team, productivity, performance, and long-term business results.
• Practical mindset and leadership shifts that support sustainable performance and reduce burnout risk.

An Advisory Board gives founder-led and growth-stage companies access to experienced, outside expertise that helps leaders make smarter strategic decisions—without giving up ownership or control.  Hear from Mark Rogers, Head of Board Practice for Robert Half, who will share his personal experience as well as other businesses that have strategically leveraged an Advisory Board to level up their growth plans. And, he’ll tell you what it takes to set one up.

Mark will cover:

• Why more private companies are turning to advisory boards to navigate growth, complexity, and uncertainty
• The key differences between advisory boards and fiduciary Boards of Directors—and why those distinctions matter
• How advisory boards provide objective insight, strategic perspective and specialized expertise without giving up control
• Practical guidance for forming, structuring, and maximizing the value of an advisory board
• Common mistakes companies make when building advisory boards—and how to avoid them

This is an opportunity to gain valuable knowledge and ask questions about the benefits and process of creating an Advisory Board.

Agentic AI is here. Deploying it effectively—at scale and with strong governance—requires a different way of thinking about business architecture: how work is defined, how capabilities are structured, and how we govern it responsibly.

This is a practical, CEO-to-CEO session on how AI is moving from thought partner to workflow partner—and quickly toward “agentic AI.” This isn’t incremental automation; it’s a shift in how work is structured, coordinated, and scaled, with real implications for leadership and operations.

The idea on the horizon: A digital workforce working alongside our people.

Why Attend:

We’re all seeing real breakthroughs with AI—and also feeling that capabilities are advancing faster than our organizations are ready to operationalize and govern. That gap matters. This session is designed to help build clarity and confidence—so you can make smart near-term moves, ask better strategic questions, and start preparing your organization now.

You’ll leave with:

• A clear, plain-language understanding of what “agentic AI” means (and what it doesn’t)
• A clear view of the shift: Thought Partner → Workflow Partner → Digital Workforce—and what it changes for how work gets done
• A practical mental model for the “business architecture” of agentic AI—how tasks, people, and agents come together through workflows and governance
• A clearer way to think about workflows as the building blocks of agentic systems—so you can evaluate where agents fit (and where they don’t)
• Practical examples brought to life using Claude CoWork—so you can see what’s possible without needing a technical background, and how ChatGPT, Claude, and Copilot can work together in a multi-tool environment
• A sharper set of leadership questions on data readiness, guardrails, and governance to guide the right conversations and decisions
