Executive Leadership Exchange

Forrester Women's Leadership Program
To Propel Your Career In Security & Risk, Choose Your Advisers And Nuggets Of Advice Wisely
December 9th | 2:00 pm – 4:30 pm
The torrent of well-meaning advice from colleagues, mentors, training sessions, and events is enough to give anyone a headache. So, we all need techniques to distinguish the transformative insights from the mere noise. This is crucial in our fast-evolving field of security & risk. Whether it’s about navigating workplace dynamics, mastering new technology, or developing cutting-edge strategies, the quality of advice you heed can significantly influence your trajectory. In this multipart collaborative session, together we will:
- Select the best advisers for your situation: You don’t need a single mentor — you need different advisers for different situations.
- Separate good advice from bad: Our panel will share the best pieces of career advice they’ve received, of course. And they’ll also expand on the “value” of bad advice — because sometimes, not following it (or doing the opposite!) can be your best decision.
- Navigate together: Learn from each other as attendees contribute their own best and worst pieces of advice.
The Forrester Women’s Leadership Program will:
- Build community.
- Inspire change.
- Drive advancement.
- Foster allyship and individual empowerment.
- Facilitate meaningful connections.
