April 16, 2024
We’ve planned a half-day of learning, guidance, and inspiration—all virtual. Here’s the agenda:
- Executive coach Dorie Clark on working with the ambition you’ve got right now, whether you’re making every effort to get promoted or are taking a break from striving. She’ll help you recognize when it’s best to slow down or ramp up.
- Organizational psychologist Ruchi Sinha’s latest research findings on trust: how to measure the amount felt between team members, and what to do if it’s imbalanced. Plus, she’ll explain the upsides of switching between different kinds of leadership styles, and she’ll illustrate how to do that.
- DEI strategist Lily Zheng on the power of data to correct discrimination, design fair processes, and demonstrate a company’s progress toward diversity, equity, and inclusion. They’ll also describe the positive and negative moves companies are making and how to have influence within yours.
- The Amys on…whatever guidance you and other attendees need related to leading a team, dealing with conflict, negotiating, or something else. Email your question ahead of time to womenatwork@hbr.org, or drop it into the chat during the session.
Tickets are $60 for Harvard Business Review subscribers and $75 for everyone else. A ticket will also give you access to a replay of the event recording. Register here.

AMY BERNSTEIN: What are you up to on May 16? Amy G and I are hosting a live, half-day virtual event. You should come!
AMY GALLO: Last year’s event was such a great time. People who attended told us they appreciated how interactive the sessions were. Like, how active the chat was and how the questions and comments there really shaped the overall conversation.
AMY BERNSTEIN: If we’re gonna be together online for four hours—with short breaks—we’ll make sure to keep things lively.
AMY GALLO: Let me tell you about a couple of the sessions we have planned. One of them is gonna be about ambition, whether you’re making every effort to get promoted or if you’re taking a break from striving. Dorie Clark will help you clarify what you want and why and recognize when slowing down or ramping up is in your best interest.
In another session, Lily Zheng, who’s a DEI strategist and friend of the podcast, will talk about the power of data. I so appreciate how practical and insightful Lily’s advice is on this topic. This is not the usual theoretical insights that are tough to actually apply to your work. Specifically they’ll share insights on how data can help you correct discrimination, design fair processes, and demonstrate a company’s progress toward diversity, equity, and inclusion. They’ll also talk about the many bells and whistles that DEI could do without.
AMY BERNSTEIN: And then we’ll talk trust—one of my very favorite topics—with organizational psychologist Ruchi Sinha, who you may have heard in our recent Essentials episode on building and repairing it. She’ll describe her latest research findings around measuring trust among team members, and she’ll give guidance on what to do if you discover an imbalance between certain people.
We’ll close out the event with “Ask the Amys,” where Amy G and I answer your questions about anything from negotiations to careers to managing others. For that one,email questions to womenatwork@hbr.org. We’ll answer questions live, but we’ll also take a few that have been submitted in advance.
AMY GALLO: For the entire agenda, information about the speakers, and to purchase your tickets, go to HBR.org/WAWLive. That’s HBR.org/WAWLive. You might consider organizing a watch party with your team. And if you can’t make it live for any reason, tickets also grant you access to the recordings afterwards.
