Summit Sessions
Making Yourself Impossible to Overlook: Career Storytelling for the Real World
Session type: Workshop
Track: Careers
Time: 2:25 pm EST
Duration: 45 minutes
Description: Strong work does not always explain itself. In this interactive workshop, Dr. Rose White helps participants turn everyday work into clear, credible career stories that other people can recognize, remember, and repeat. Participants learn the 4C Career Story framework – Context, Contribution, Change, and Connection – and practice moving from task language to value language without exaggerating results. The session includes guided activities that help attendees build one 4C story, identify words that unintentionally minimize their contribution, create a personal Contribution Bank, and adapt the same evidence for a manager, interviewer, senior leader or sponsor, and peer or partner. Participants also practice a 30-second spoken version and choose one action from a seven-day visibility challenge.
The emphasis is not on being louder or more performative. It is on making real work easier to understand, carry, and advocate for in performance discussions, interviews, networking conversations, promotion conversations, and day-to-day career settings.

Navigating Bias Without Burning Yourself Out: Practical tools for navigating bias, microaggressions, and structural friction in ways that protect your energy
Session type: Workshop
Track: Integrated
Time: 4:40 pm EST
Duration: 30 minutes
Description: Bias, microaggressions, and structural friction do not affect everyone in the same way, and there is no single right response. In this interactive 30-minute integrated workshop, Dr. Rose White gives participants a practical decision-making process for navigating difficult moments while protecting safety, capacity, and energy.
The session centers context, culture, identity, power, pattern, consequences, and personal capacity rather than assuming that immediate confrontation is always the best option. Participants learn the C.H.O.I.C.E. Map: Clarify the moment; Hold the context; Outline options; Inventory risk and energy; Choose by goal and capacity; and Engage, exit, or revisit. They also examine a spectrum of response options – direct, indirect, delayed, collective, and non-engagement – and apply a Risk + Energy Scan to one real, fictional, or composite situation. The session includes practical language examples, a sustainable-response exercise, and boundary and recovery strategies.
Participants are never required to disclose identity details or painful experiences.
