OWN YOUR IMPACT: Clarity, Confidence, and the Courage to Lead Forward, April Lewis, MBA, Leadership & Workplace Culture Expert
April brings her experience as a combat veteran, former international athlete, and executive coach to show you what's possible when you show up every day with clarity and confidence. This isn't about doing more or working harder (we are ANTI-burnout)! This is about owning your impact, claiming your authority, and leading without apology. You'll leave this keynote energized, focused, and ready to take action on what's next. Because the banking industry needs your leadership. And you're ready to own it.
