Yet, many leaders unknowingly operate in survival mode, prioritizing efficiency, stability, and the age-old "Because we've always done it this way" excuse at the expense of experimentation, new ideas, and moving forward.  This highly interactive session will challenge leaders to break free from old patterns and embrace a Thrive mindset—one that starts with a counterintuitive truth: sometimes the fastest path forward begins with slowing down. By creating space to pause, reflect, and reset, leaders can build the psychological safety their teams need to take risks, surface new ideas, and innovate with confidence.  Through applied improvisation, engaging discussions, and real-world leadership frameworks—including Kotter's Survive & Thrive Channels—participants will explore how intentional pauses and a culture of reflection can unlock creativity and adaptability across their organizations. This isn't your normal workshop—it's a judgment-free creative playground where leaders will practice taking risks, challenging assumptions, and leading outside the lines.  The 2026 Women’s Conference proudly kicks off the 2nd Annual Ledgers and Legends Week, a week dedicated to connection, learning, and celebration across Louisiana’s accounting and finance community at the Ritz-Carlton in New Orleans. Join us for a full week of learning, connection, and celebration across the profession.
