About this Event

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

This event is for you if you:

  • This conversation is for anyone navigating leadership, seeking to drive systemic change, or looking to build a more equitable future in the workplace. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain insights, share experiences, and take actionable steps toward sustained leadership success.
  • Location: The Yard: Herald Square Coworking Office Space Manhattan

Don't miss this opportunity to network with like-minded professionals and take your leadership skills to the next level.
