About this Event

Pull Up A Chair: A Leadership Legacy Symposium
The first boardroom was the kitchen table

Some of the most powerful leadership lessons were never taught in a classroom. They were lived at home.

Pull up a chair and join the conversation as a panel of leaders explores the lessons that shaped them long before a title did. Inspired by Dr. Alisa J. Henley’s new book, My First CEO: A Mother’s Leadership Legacy, this two-hour symposium takes an honest look at the pain of leadership, the emotion behind it, and a framework for leading with authenticity and purpose.

Come to listen. Come to ask. Come to add your voice.

Presented by Dr. Alisa J. Henley, The Vision Ignitor®, in partnership with Harris-Stowe State University

My First CEO

🕑: 01:30 PM - 03:30 PM
Who was your first CEO?

Info: For many of us, it wasn’t a boss or a professor. It was the person who ran a household, stretched a budget, settled disputes, set the vision, and expected excellence, all without a corner office.

Pull Up A Chair is a leadership symposium built on that idea. Drawing on My First CEO: A Mother’s Leadership Legacy by Dr. Alisa J. Henley, Industrial-Organizational Psychologist and executive coach, the panel will talk candidly about what leadership costs, what it feels like, and what carries you through it.

This is a conversation, not a lecture. Whether you are a student preparing to lead, a professional in the thick of it, or a community member with wisdom of your own, there is a chair waiting for you.
