In 2025, The WIMDI Speaker Series is inviting engaging speakers each month to give interactive talks on topics that help women kill it at work.

Welcome to Talk 10 of 13 - Leading Through Crisis with Clarity

The email hits your inbox and the murmuring starts in the hallway. 45% layoffs to accommodate spending on new AI features!?!? WHAT!?

When the ground shifts beneath your team, everyone turns to you for answers. Don’t go searching for your cape. You already have what you need. You need your heart to connect, your hands to steady the chaos, and your mind to lead with clarity.

This talk will focus on the skills you need as a leader to navigate through difficult times with clarity.

We’ll cover:

• Understanding team and interpersonal dynamics in stressful situations
• What your job is as a leader in crisis
• How to navigate the emotional turmoil of leading in difficult times
• A process you can use to navigate times of crisis

The goal of this talk is to help you lead effectively in times of massive upheaval.

It's our much-loved café night -- this time in an actual café!

Join us for a night of in-person networking, chit-chat, and strategy sharing between women in male-dominated industries.

This is an IRL networking event for all of our Vancouver-based WIMDI members.
Here's the plan:

1. Meet at Pane e Formaggio Cafe - 868 Beatty St
2. Order delicious mochas, jasmine tea, muffins, etc.
3. Meet some cool women and chat about our work lives
4. Exchange cards, phone numbers, facepages, myfriend accounts, tiktaks, instapics, snaptexts, or whatever it is that the kids are using these days to stay in touch
5. Stay in touch! Or....failing that, we'll do it all again in four weeks, so don't worry, we've got your back.

Hope to see you there!

Attendance Notes:

• Gender:
  All WIMDI Café Nights are restricted to those who do not currently identify as cisgender men. These events have limited attendance and often involve personal discussion, debate, and advice specific to dynamics underrepresented minorities in these industries experience. We are happy for cisgender men to learn and participate in WIMDI conversation at most of our other events, but we reserve the Café Lunches as a space for women***** to connect with each other freely and openly.

*****WIMDI uses an inclusive definition of women that means "people who are in a gender minority in their field". This includes trans individuals, genderqueer, agender, intersex, two spirit, and non-binary folks. If you are not sure if you are included, please err on the side of attending our events! Feel free to reach out to the Organizer, Holly Burton, with any questions and for an automatic welcoming face and first-friend at any WIMDI event.

• Code of Conduct:
  By attending this event, you agree to adhere to WIMDI's code of conduct, which you can find at wimdi.com/code-of-conduct-and-policy.
• Children:
  WIMDI events are for parents too! We know childcare can occasionally be a challenge, but we don't think that should stop you from connecting and learning with us. WIMDI doesn't offer childcare at our events, but we'd love you to bring your little one along with some quiet activities to occupy them. Suitable for ages 0+.
• Photography:
  This WIMDI event does not have photography.
