Leadership on the Edge: High-Stakes Gamble for Women & Minority Executives

Leadership on the Edge: High-Stakes Gamble for Women & Minority Executives

A Black History Month Conversation on Leadership, Risk, and Resilience.

In moments of crisis, who gets called to lead? Too often, women and people of color are handed the reins of organizations in turmoil—stepping into high-risk leadership roles where the likelihood of failure is disproportionately high. This phenomenon, known as the glass cliff, has profound implications for career trajectories, workplace equity, and organizational success.

Join us for a powerful and thought-provoking discussion featuring:

Laura Mignott, CEO, You Are Home

Francine Parham, Founder & CEO, FrancineParham & Co.

Moderated by Cecilia Nelson-Hurt, Chief DEI Officer, Heidrick & Struggles

Together, they’ll break down:

* What the glass cliff is and why it matters

* Real-world examples of how it plays out across industries

* The impact on leadership journeys and corporate structures

* Strategies for resilience, advocacy, and long-term success
