SUMMARY:Global: The Freedom Formula
DESCRIPTION:Freedom is alignment and flow. It is consistently connecting time\, energy and attention to what matters most so you operate as a creator rather than a reactor. In this session\, leaders learn a simple operating system they can use immediately. Freedom in practice means regulating first\, then taking action\, protecting the few highest value activities that create outsized impact and building guardrails\, so the calendar reflects priorities. Participants leave with a practical framework\, including a 7-day Freedom Sprint\, that helps them move from reaction to intentional design and strengthen clarity\, flow and leadership presence in daily execution. \nParticipants learn: \n\nHow to identify your top three priorities for the week\, then translate them into calendar blocks\nHow to design simple guardrails for meetings\, focus time and response windows\nHow to run a daily reset that regulates first\, then moves you into intentional action\nHow to complete the 7-day Freedom Sprint using daily prompts and a simple progress check

SUMMARY:Global: The Gap & The Gain
DESCRIPTION:Many high performers measure progress in a way that quietly drains momentum. Living in “the gap” means focusing on the ideal future that has not been reached yet\, which can create constant pressure\, dissatisfaction and burnout even amid success. This session shifts the reference point to “the gain” so leaders recognize progress already made while still holding high standards and forward ambition. The result is steadier motivation\, greater confidence and sustained performance where progress becomes fuel\, not friction. \nParticipants learn: \n\nHow to run a five-minute gain review that restores confidence and reduces pressure\nHow to set a progress scoreboard that tracks actions taken\, not just outcomes\nHow to use a simple reframe script when the gap mindset shows up mid-week\nHow to convert your gain review into one clear priority and one next action for the week ahead

SUMMARY:Global: 10x Mindset
DESCRIPTION:10X is not a number\, it is a mindset shift. When leaders try to 2X results\, the instinct is often to push harder\, add more hours and apply more pressure\, which creates complexity\, fatigue and diminishing returns. 10X thinking works differently. It helps you identify the small set of actions\, habits and relationships that already create the greatest value\, then intentionally amplify those while redesigning or releasing what no longer serves the system. \nParticipants learn: \n\nHow to map your current workload into high return\, medium return and low return buckets\nHow to choose one to three leverage moves that create outsized impact in the next 30 days\nHow to build a stop doing list\, a delegate list and a simplify list you can use immediately\nHow to translate 10X thinking into a weekly plan with protected focus time and clear boundaries

SUMMARY:Global: Executive Development Series: Executive Presence & Influence
DESCRIPTION:Executive Presence & Influence \nPart of the Executive Development Series\nExecutive presence is the ability to command attention\, build trust and inspire others to follow you. In the high-visibility world of media\, entertainment and technology\, leaders are often judged in seconds on how they show up\, what they say and how they say it. Executive Presence & Influence helps you shape those first impressions and everyday interactions so they consistently reinforce your leadership brand. \nThis EDS program blends practical frameworks\, rehearsal and real-time feedback to develop a presence that is both authentic and impactful. Drawing on ideas such as the “7-11 rule\,” which suggests that in the first seven seconds people form quick judgments about your credibility and likeability\, the experience moves from inner mindset to outward expression. It culminates in the Confident Casual® target\, where you project poise and authority while remaining approachable and engaging\, in person and in virtual settings. \nProgram Purpose\nThe goal is to develop leaders who project clear\, credible executive presence and use it to influence people and outcomes in a positive way. Participants sharpen their self-awareness\, refine their communication style and gain practical tools to show up consistently in a way that inspires confidence\, increases visibility and supports their career progression\, including in AI-enabled workplaces. \nClick here to learn more and register.

SUMMARY:Global Webinar: Be the CEO of Your Career
DESCRIPTION:Be the CEO of Your Career\n\nWednesday\, March 4 | Time: 11:00 am – 12:00 pm (Eastern)\nWEBINAR SPEAKER:\nKaren Kunkel Young\, Executive Leadership and Career Coach \nMost professionals were taught how to follow a career path. Very few were taught how to actively lead one. \nIn an industry shaped by constant change and consolidation\, waiting for clarity is no longer enough. This session invites WICT members to step into the CEO role of their own careers and make intentional decisions about visibility\, influence and direction. \nDrawing on over 25 years in senior leadership and her work coaching leaders across industries\, Karen introduces a practical framework for leading a career with clarity\, agency\, and strategic intent. Participants will learn how to communicate their value with confidence\, navigate transitions without losing momentum\, and design opportunities rather than react to change. \nParticipants will leave with: \n\nA stronger identity as the CEO of their own career.\nClear language to communicate their value with confidence and influence.\nA practical framework for navigating transitions and pivots.\nTools to make strategic career decisions instead of reactive ones.\n\nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Global Webinar: Be Your Own Ally
DESCRIPTION:Be Your Own Ally: Why Showing Up for You First Matters\nThursday\, February 5 | Time: 11:00 am – 12:00 pm (Eastern) \nWEBINAR SPEAKERS:\nEric Spencer\, COO\, SkyeTeam & Ruby Vesely\, CSO\, SkyeTeam \nBased on the book You\, Me\, We: Why We All Need a Friend at Work (and How to Show Up As One!)\, this interactive session will explore the five practices of an Ally Mindset: Abundance & Generosity\, Connection & Compassion\, Courage & Vulnerability\, Candor & Debate\, and Action & Accountability. We most often think of these qualities in reference to how we show up in our relationships with others\, AND it also applies to how we take care of ourselves. In this interactive session\, you will learn how to “show up” as a friend for yourself first\, so you can then show up for others in a more connected and meaningful way. \nThe audience will leave with: \n\nAn increased awareness of the impact on your life when you do not prioritize self-care.\nAn understanding of how the five qualities of an Ally Mindset apply to oneself.\nIncreased self-awareness of how you consistently show up for yourself.\n\nClick here to register.
