From “Impostor Syndrome” to “Fake it Until You Make It,” many women and early-career professionals are met with narratives that can diminish confidence, dilute authenticity, and limit leadership potential. In an industry long shaped by tradition and often male-dominated dynamics, the grocery sector presents unique (yet navigable) barriers to leadership growth. In this powerful panel, executives and rising leaders who’ve faced and transcended these challenges share candid stories and transformational takeaways. Together, we’ll unpack the assumptions that hold us back, explore the real impact of owning your voice, and offer practical strategies to lead with influence and integrity, without compromising your identity. This session is designed to spark reflection, build confidence, and equip participants with tools to redefine what impactful leadership really looks like in the grocery workplace.
