ABOUT THE EVENT
Lea Greene, former Chief of Public Relations for Grand Forks Air Force Base, shares her journey navigating a male-dominated military environment while rising to a leadership role in public affairs. Drawing on decades of experience managing complex communications, crisis situations, and strategic initiatives, Lea explores the challenges of asserting influence and authority in spaces where the systems weren’t designed for women to lead.
Attendees will gain practical insights on:
- Navigating male-dominated industries and breaking through invisible barriers
- Building credibility and commanding respect in high-pressure environments
- Leveraging communication skills to drive organizational impact
- Strategies for mentoring and empowering others while maintaining authenticity
This session is both a candid reflection and an inspiring guide for professionals seeking to thrive in leadership roles where they are underrepresented.
