About this Session

Moderated by Jay Laabs, CEO and founder of Spaulding Ridge, "Why Not You: Be a C-Suite Leader" will explore the journey to executive leadership, the qualities that define successful leaders, and the evolving demands of leading at the highest levels.

Panelists will share their personal experiences of rising to the C-Suite, the key lessons they’ve learned along the way, and the strategies they’ve used to shape their leadership styles. The discussion will delve into what it takes to prepare for executive roles, how to navigate the transition from general leadership to the C-suite, and the critical skills that set leaders apart. We will also address common misconceptions about corporate leadership, the role of mentorship, and how AI is influencing decision-making at the executive level.

Attendees will gain actionable insights on positioning themselves for future leadership opportunities, developing the confidence to lead, and making a lasting impact in their organizations.
