You're Invited
Join us for coffee and meaningful conversation with fellow leaders from around the world.
This isn't another networking event. It's an opportunity to pause, connect, reflect, and enjoy authentic conversation before the excitement of the Awards Gala. Whether you're meeting someone for the first time or reconnecting with familiar faces, this is a space to share ideas, encourage one another, and remember why we lead. No presentations. No pressure. Just good coffee, genuine conversation, and a community of leaders committed to making a difference — hosted by Tiffany Rashel and Sandra Ekpenyong. Space is intentionally limited to create an intimate experience. We'd love to share a cup with you.
The Conversation
Tiffany will share strategic insights on leading with clarity, resilience, confidence, and purpose, drawing on the same wisdom that shaped her bestselling guide for leaders navigating peace, pandemic, and protest.
Sandra will draw from her experience as a publisher, Book Strategist, and prolific author to reveal how accomplished leaders can transform their knowledge, personal journeys, and professional expertise into meaningful books that establish authority, expand influence, generate opportunity, and preserve their legacy for generations.
