Topics
Leading with Purpose While Driving Profit
Purpose and profit are not mutually exclusive. Indeed, as ambiguity and uncertainty continue to shape the backdrop against which countless organizations operate, the only thing that stays constant is purpose and values. Every organization has a role to play in this regard and leaders should think about the specific skills, resources and core competencies at their disposal. Their consumers and fans are increasingly making decisions on the basis of how they live out those values. The audience will learn how building and leading an organization purposefully and partnering with your community can drive greater success for your employees, shareholders, and community. Vision alone isn’t enough but conviction to lead ahead of results takes courage and passion.
Accelerating Equity in Sport
For generations, women and other marginalized groups have been fighting for equity and full participation in social, economic, civic, and political life. Progress has been slow and women’s control over resources, decision-making power, and ability to shape policies and perceptions is still woefully low, particularly in the sports industry. Angel City FC has demonstrated what is possible when you deliberately redistribute power and financial control. Julie Uhrman and her team are part of the leaders spearheading these shifts in women’s sports, transforming it for generations to come. Audiences will learn about the trends and opportunities that can contribute to advancing this shift towards equity across the sector. Being intentional about how you make decisions, who you hire, and how you share your stories can have a meaningful impact within your organization and a ripple effect across the industry.
Sports Built by Women
Angel City FC is the only female-founded, female-owned, and female-led team in professional sports that resides in Los Angeles, the sports capital of the world. In less than four years the team has become the highest-valued women’s professional team, driving eight-figure sponsorship revenue and sold-out games. Angel City is pioneering a new model and setting standards for the industry. In this session the audience will learn about traditional trends and practices in the sports sector and why the emergence of new women leaders like Julie and some of her peers has the potential to dramatically reshape the industry.
