Radical Authenticity: Leading with Wholeness, Impact, and Courage

Shawnna will share how her 25-year journey in technology — often as the only woman in the room — taught her resilience that goes beyond grit. She will explore how prioritizing mental health, asking the right questions, and leading inclusively can transform careers, organizations, and communities. This keynote is more than inspiration — it’s a call to action. Attendees will leave with practical tools, renewed conviction, and a deeper understanding of how authentic leadership builds trust, elevates others, and creates lasting impact.
