I remember the 2015 conference call like it was yesterday:

This week, we get to celebrate in Boston with our wonderful host, Denise E. Bates of Tufts University.

I remember the 2015 conference call like it was yesterday: “You should cancel CLIC. DC traffic is going to be a mess.”

Dusty, fixed mindsets and planning models? They have gone the way of green eye shades. Experimentation and flexibility are de rigeur.

Join us for CLIC ’25 – C-Suite Leading Innovation Conference — May 8-9, 2025. Our theme: “The Art of Experimentation.”
You will meet peers from AARP, CoStar Group, First Heritage Mortgage, Junior Achievement, Harvard University, and more.

Each year, we select a senior growth leader for our CLIC Beacon Award. We honor and recognize their commitment to promoting shared knowledge, inspiration, and experiences. The recipient  models the traits of a strategic leader: open, real, and respectful.

The Midlife Innovator cohort (our 9th) will harness corporate and personal wisdom to fuel reinvention and long-term growth.

What I recommend is contrary to Western work norms: stop plate-spinning. In my recent LinkedIn newsletter, I have outlined the case to embrace the power of the pause.

Why does this topic matter? Because I am witnessing how generative AI and efficiency pressures are plunging CEOs, CMOs and market leaders into a pile of misaligned teams, missed deadlines, and competing priorities.

AI has forever changed how we innovate and collaborate. Move your 2024 growth strategies forward faster at CLIC ’24, happening May 1-2 in New York.

January is the ideal time to kick start question #6 in my list of Mindful Questions: Ten years from now, what is one thing you will regret if you do not learn or do it now?

Our 2023 Beacon Award recipient, Amy Kellinger, is someone you would love to know. She’s Blackbaud’s VP of global demand gen and event marketing–and an inspiration to our global community.
