Join our executive coaches for hour-long interactive workshops at the 2025 Women Leading Travel & Hospitality Summit! These workshops, offered Tuesday and Wednesday (June 10, June 11), will provide attendees with actionable insights and tips to take back to their teams. Attendees can select from one of four workshops each day (attend two different sessions over the course of the two days):

Leading With Emotional Intelligence – Christina McFadden, CEO, Blue Door Partners
Explore how emotional intelligence (EQ) elevates leadership effectiveness, especially in high-stress or complex environments. With a deep background in executive coaching, McFadden guides participants through self-assessment tools, real-time reflection, and group discussions that foster stronger emotional self-regulation, empathy, and communication agility. Leaders will take away strategies to build trust, create psychological safety, and influence authentically. Expect a blend of neuroscience, practical exercises, and powerful coaching insights.

Mindset Matters: The Art of Self-Advocacy, Confidence and Negotiation Strategies for Women – Courtney Seard, Executive Performance Coach, Speaker, Facilitator and Strategic Consultant
Courtney Seard brings powerful, high-energy coaching to help women shift limiting beliefs and step into unapologetic self-advocacy. Through mindset exercises and dynamic facilitation, this workshop equips participants with tangible strategies to communicate their value, navigate challenging conversations, and negotiate with confidence — whether for a role, raise or recognition. Seard draws from neuroscience, NLP (neuro-linguistic programming), and executive coaching frameworks to create lasting internal transformation and external impact.

Navigating Change and Uncertainty – Carrie Skowronski, Founder and CEO, Leadology
Change is inevitable, but your response is everything. Carrie Skowronski offers an empowering, science-informed session that helps participants understand the psychology of change, normalize uncertainty, and build the personal agility required to lead through it. Using real-world scenarios, reflective practices, and storytelling, she helps individuals and teams identify their own change response patterns and adopt tools to remain steady, curious and focused in uncertain times.

Creating a Culture of Accountability – Quendrida Whitmore, Leadership Coach, Quendrida Whitmore Coaching & Consulting
Accountability doesn’t have to mean micromanagement — it’s about clarity, trust and follow-through. Dr. Quendrida Whitmore leads a pragmatic and insightful session on how leaders can foster a high-performing culture through clearly communicated expectations, consistent feedback loops, and empowerment strategies. With an emphasis on leadership behavior modeling and performance ownership, she breaks down how to turn difficult conversations into development opportunities as well as how to build systems that support accountability across teams.
