Women Who Lead: Equality, Courage, and Compassion
An Online Conference
Friday November 13th 12:00 – 5:00 pm
An afternoon of online personal and professional programming. Advanced registration required.
While current circumstances have forced us to modify our annual summit, we wholeheartedly believe that this virtual conference offers timely and impactful personal and professional programming for our community and participants from far and wide!
The Women in Leadership Summit is geared primarily toward people who identify as female, but we always encourage universal participation and welcome everyone to join us in our programming.
Schedule
The 2021 Women in Leadership Summit, “Leading with Integrity,” features a keynote conversation with United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, M. Margaret McKeown. Teton County Commissioner, Natalia Duncan Macker will interview Judge Mckeown and discuss the importance of “Trusting Your Judgement.”
Born and raised in Casper, and graduate of University of Wyoming, Judge McKeown is immediate past chair of the ABA Rule of Law Initiative and a current special advisor. She has lectured throughout the world on international law, human rights law, intellectual property, litigation, ethics, judicial administration, and constitutional law and has participated in numerous rule of law initiatives with judges and lawyers. Judge Mckeown was also a great friend to Ruth Bader Ginsberg, who served as her mentor for many years. A frequent visitor to Jackson Hole, Judge McKeown currently serves on the Board of the Teton Science Schools.
Following Justice McKeown’s keynote, we are excited for two personal development workshops that will provide tools for living and leading with integrity.

Workshop Descriptions
Workshop #1 Having Difficult Conversations/Internal Activism: Authentic Power
How do we have difficult conversations? By communicating authentically. In this workshop, you are invited to do the courageous work of speaking up and making changes, so that you can show up fully in your profession and your relationships differently and with more confidence. Join Professional Counselor, Daniela Peterson, and Leadership Development Coach, Jamil Higley, for a deep dive into identifying your inner spark, your capacity for emotional intelligence, and the passion that connects you to your inner wisdom and your ability to lead.
Workshop #2 Work/Life Balance: Cultivating Awareness, Energy & Principles with Strategic Consultant, Erin Taylor of Cheyenne.
Scrap the personality tests, birth order theories and leadership assessments. Learn how to locate your energy, build a sustainable model for self-care, and live in your values to find balance and bring out the intuitive leader within. This workshop is based on the three methods for bringing balance to your life – learn how to locate where your energy resides, build a model for self-care, and really dig into and define your values.

Taking the Plunge: How to Overcome Fear of Change and Fear of Failure
Personal Development Workshop with Sallie Felton
Have you ever found yourself stuck…emotionally, mentally or physically? Your stomach is in knots, decisions are almost impossible to make, sleep is an afterthought and stress is knocking at your door. AND just to make matters worse, you already have enough negative self-talk and judgment going on in your head. Sound familiar? So what is it about fear of change and/or fear of failure that holds you back?
LEARN: Why does fear of change or fear of failure stop you from living your life fully, setting goals or starting your business? Explore why you do it and how to overcome it, including:
- What do you need to do to quiet the fear.
- Tricks to learn how to the eliminate the “monkey mind” of doubt and fear
- What do you need to do to change your mindset and accomplish your goals?
- Set your intentions clearly and understand what you want to do with your personal life and/or business
- What do you need that you don’t have now and how you are going to find it?

A Conversation about Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Womentum is honored to host this program in collaboration with the Jackson Hole DEI Collective. In an effort to help our community raise the bar for what it means to be equitable, inclusive and racially just, please join us for a discussion on “getting real about whiteness” and addressing privilege and bias even among the most well intentioned.

Members of the Collective occupy intersecting dominant and marginalized identities, including Black people, People of Color, and White people, straight, LGBTQ+, cis-gendered, and genderqueer.
Advance registrants will be provided resources to prepare for this conversation.
Virtual Book Discussion
The Likeability Trap: How to Break Free and Succeed as You Are
By Alicia Menendez
In conjunction with the Women in Leadership Summit 2020, Womentum is excited to host virtual book discussions on The Likeability Trap: How to Break Free and Succeed as You Are by Alicia Menendez.
“Relying on extensive research and interviews, and carefully examined personal experience, The Likeability Trap delivers an essential examination of the pressure put on women to be amiable at work, home, and in the public sphere, and explores the price women pay for internalizing those demands. Rather than advising readers to make themselves likeable, Menendez empowers them to examine how they perceive themselves and others and explores how the concept of likeability is riddled with cultural biases. Our demands for likeability, she argues, hinder everyone’s progress and power.”
Books available at JH Booktrader, Valley Books and your favorited online booksellers. It also is a great audio book!
If you are interested, let us know which date and time you would like to participate. (It is not a series of discussions). Sign up for your preferred time here:
