Why Motherhood Is the Leadership Credential Nobody Is Talking About

Thursday, July 30 | 12:00–1:00 PM (Virtual)

Motherhood changes everything—including the way we lead.

Join us for a special virtual Lunch & Learn featuring executive coach and leadership expert Dr. Amanda Allard as she challenges the outdated belief that motherhood and leadership exist on opposite sides of success.

Whether you're balancing career and family, preparing to return to work after parental leave, leading a business, or simply navigating the many roles motherhood requires, this inspiring conversation will help you recognize the extraordinary leadership skills you're already developing every day.

Drawing from communication research, cultural perspectives, and personal experience, Dr. Allard will explore why motherhood isn't a barrier to leadership—it is one of its greatest training grounds.

During this session, you'll discover:

• Why society has created a false divide between motherhood and leadership.

• The leadership skills that motherhood naturally develops—including resilience, communication, adaptability, decision-making, and emotional intelligence.

• How workplaces can better support mothers and retain talented women.

• Practical ways to reframe your own identity, confidence, and leadership potential.

Whether you're an expectant mom, new parent, seasoned mother, business owner, healthcare professional, or someone passionate about supporting women, you'll leave feeling encouraged, empowered, and inspired.
