In today’s fast-changing, multicultural environment, effective leadership requires more than technical expertise—it demands vision, adaptability, and inclusivity. In this engaging session, Joy Chen, CEO of the Multicultural Leadership Institute and the Eaton Fire Survivors Network, and former Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles, shares lessons from more than two decades of leadership across government, global business, and media.
Drawing on her journey from the shy daughter of immigrants to a global thought leader, Joy offers practical strategies to lead with clarity and influence across boundaries. Participants will gain insights into:
How to navigate cultural dynamics to strengthen teams and organizations
Tactics for making leadership more inclusive and impactful
Ways to expand influence and drive results in diverse and rapidly shifting markets
With her unique blend of global strategy, social science, and real-world experience, Joy equips leaders to not only succeed but thrive in complexity. This session is designed for executives and emerging leaders alike who want to elevate their leadership to be more adaptive, inclusive, and effective in today’s interconnected world.
