Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Community in the Carolinas with Charli Matthews Carruth
Q: How does the community support women who are new to the conference or to leadership roles?
The events are designed to be welcoming to newcomers with first-timers meetings, buddy systems like a conference bestie, table options for social onboarding, and a culture where allies—men included—are invited to participate and support.
Community in the Carolinas with Charli Matthews Carruth
Q: What do attendees typically take away from the conferences, beyond the immediate energy and inspiration?
Attendees gain a sense of belonging, a powerful network of peers, and practical strategies to advance their careers, including mentorship, sponsorship, and concrete steps to apply back at work; they leave with a plan and connections to continue growing.
Community in the Carolinas with Charli Matthews Carruth
Q: What made you decide it was time to bring the Empowering Women energy to Greenville, South Carolina?
Greenville is a vibrant hub for tech and industry on the East Coast, and the Carolinas have a strong, existing community of women in industry that deserved a dedicated space. The decision came after recognizing the need to extend support and opportunities to women there, and after a local community member from the Carolinas inspired the move.
Give Boldly to Gain Together with Emily Lampkin
Q: What moment or pattern did you keep seeing that made you write the real story for women?
She observed that successful women thrived when they mastered three fundamentals—selling themselves, widening their circle, and taking action now—plus the importance of contextual leadership that works beyond traditional office settings.
Leadership We Need with Maria Brinck
Q: What is polycrisis and why is it central to leadership today?
Polycrisis describes multiple interlocking global challenges. Brinck argues leadership must adapt by embracing diversity of thought, moving away from fear-based tactics, and leveraging non-linear strengths to build resilience.
