Power-Up for Purpose: How Stakeholder Mapping Can Level Up Your Impact
Presenter: Jessie Hathcock
How can you pursue greater impact, honor your valued relationships, and run a successful business at the same time?
Applying best practices from B Corps and the Conscious Capitalism movement, stakeholder mapping is a powerful tool to help you see a complete picture of your company’s FULL impact potential. In this interactive session, we’ll use stakeholder mapping to help you identify impact opportunities of each stakeholder group and build intentional “purpose” priorities. You’ll walk away with one prioritized goal to strengthen your business as a force for good and have a tool you can return to as you continue to level up for good.
Drive Powerful Action WITHOUT Burning Out
Presenter: Dr. Susie Hansley
Running a business and serving others successfully doesn’t have to come at the expense of your energy and well-being. The key lies in understanding what drives your actions: cortisol, the stress hormone, or dopamine, the motivation and reward chemical. Operating from cortisol can lead to burnout, while working from dopamine fuels sustainable, high-impact action.
In this hands-on session, Dr. Susie Hansley will teach you why we stay cortisol-driven and how to switch to dopamine-driven energy in seconds. You’ll learn exactly how to release stress quickly and take consistent action that supports your goals without draining your energy.
Key Takeaways
- Stop going home exhausted and wired
- Think more clearly under pressure
- Stay motivated and energized for the long haul
Level Up: Skills That Move Us Forward
Presenters: Paul Miller & Dawn Daria
When curiosity and vulnerability are missing, people and teams can get stuck in assumption, defensiveness, and surface-level connection.

The Long Game: Business Impact in Blue, Gray, and Dark Skies
Moderator:Briles Johnson
When it comes to supporting communities, businesses don’t just show up for “easy mode.” They have a role to play in blue skies, gray skies, and the darkest moments. This panel explores how organizations can level up their impact during times of crisis and disaster. Panelists will share real-world examples of relief efforts—where helpers rise, where businesses successfully joined the mission, and where strategies fell short. Attendees will gain practical insights to avoid common pitfalls, build stronger partnerships, and play the long game in showing up with purpose before, during, and after a crisis.
Vulnerability as a Leadership Advantage
Presentor: Chris Hendricks
Vulnerability in leadership is often misunderstood as weakness, yet it is one of the msot powerful tools for building strong, resilient teams. When leaders show authenticity, admit challenges, and invite honest dialogue, they create an environment where trust can thrive. This openness encourages team members to share ideas, take smart risks, and collaborate more effectively, leading to stronger performance and innovations. By embracing vulnerability, leaders foster a culture where people feel valued and empowered, ultimately driving higher engagement and sustained success.
