The Executive Advantage: What It Takes to Lead, Grow & Advance

Whether you're considering your next career move, leading through organizational change or simply thinking more strategically about your long-term growth, one thing is clear: the rules of executive leadership continue to evolve. For women in travel, success isn't just about delivering results, it's also about building meaningful relationships, cultivating a strong executive presence and staying ahead of what's next.

That's why we're excited to invite you to The Executive Advantage: Network, Career & What's Next, a special LinkedIn Live conversation on Wednesday, July 29 at 2:00 P.M. EST. I, Elisabeth Segura, will be joined by Nina Gold, Senior Consultant at Skift Executive Search, and Erica Cary, Vice President, Global Human Resources at Hilton, for a candid discussion on what it really takes to advance at the executive level. Together, we'll explore how senior women are building career-defining networks, the growing importance of sponsorship and strategic connections, and how leaders can thoughtfully use AI to strengthen their executive presence, without sacrificing authenticity.

Whether you're actively exploring new opportunities or investing in your future leadership, you'll leave with practical insights you can apply immediately.

Join us live on LinkedIn for the conversation and audience Q&A, or catch the replay afterward on the Women Leading Travel LinkedIn page.

Follow Women Leading Travel on LinkedIn to receive event updates and be notified when we go live.

We look forward to having you with us!
