Exploring Intrapreneurship | Led by Maria Fernandez Guajardo
Entrepreneurship within a company is similar to creating startup - you need to build a new value proposition, raise "money", build your board, hire your team and find product market fit. But doing it inside a company with an established business has its own challenges and requires a unique "magic". As someone who has built 0 to 1 efforts at both Meta and Google, I will share lessons learned and tips and tricks for becoming an intrapreneur.

Thought Leadership | Led by Denise Brosseau
Are you ready to accelerate your thought leadership journey? HiPower Ring 2 alum Denise Brosseau will take us on a fun and engaging session to strategize our next steps to getting our voices heard and our ideas more widely accepted. Bring your best practices to share (brag about!) and your challenges to workshop as this will be an interactive session.

JAN Talks
JAN Talks are our signature “lightning practice TED talks”. Members are given about 5 minutes (give or take) to deliver a talk to the room as a practice for refining their talk for future speaking engagements. This is a great chance to practice the storytelling and communication skills we discussed during the year while perhaps building out your platform, in a supportive room with people who are here only to help make you even better!
