Empowering Women in Leadership

Women in Banking

Thursday, October 58:30 a.m. Registration/Continental Breakfast

Continental Breakfast sponsored by Gullett Sanford Robinson & Martin, PLLC, Nashville, TN

9:00 a.m. Welcome: TBA Chairman/President

9:15 a.m. Assertive Leadership for Women in Banking: How to Move the Business Forward With the Teams You Lead Pamela Atherton, Speaker-Talk Show Host-Media Trainer, A Closer Look Radio, South El Monte, CA

Assertiveness is a skill—it can be developed and honed, like any other skill. Effective assertive skills manifest themselves in better negotiating tactics, stronger leadership, better team performance, and higher levels of employee engagement.

For many women, negotiating can be challenging because we tend to be “people pleasers” and often put the needs of the group before our own needs. Effective negotiating is not about winning—it’s about ensuring that both parties arrive at a place of mutual benefit. And being assertive is not at odds with teamwork—in fact, it is constructive for your team and your organization. Assertiveness is a management and performance quality that is highly charismatic and appealing.

In this session, you will learn: • What assertiveness is—and what it’s not • How to develop an assertive style in a manner that appeals, not repels • How to communicate, empower, and lead in predominantly male industries or teams • Effective negotiating strategies that yield best outcomes for all business partners and associates

10:30 a.m. Coffee Break Sponsored by the Law Office of Wendy Geurin Smith, Memphis, TN

10:45 a.m. “Effective Networking—What It Is and What It Isn’t” Diane Darling, Founder, Effective Networking, Boston, MA

Do you cringe when you hear the word networking? You know you need to do it, but would you rather go to the dentist? You know it’s the best way to get clients, recruit top talent, and be known in your community… but you still don’t want to do it.

In this interactive session, author Diane Darling will share her in-sights on why we don’t like to network and how to reframe it. You’ll walk away knowing: • How to network even if you’re an introvert • Tools and apps that can help you be productive • How to read body language • Top mistakes people make • Best practices on LinkedIn • How to follow up and stay in touch (without stalking)

Noon Lunch Sponsored by Butler Snow LLP, Nashville, TN

1:00 p.m. Gain Competitive Advantage by Placing Women in Leadership Positions Moderator: Elizabeth W. Sims, Attorney, Butler Snow LLP, Nashville, TN Panelists: Laura Blackburn, Senior Vice President/Chief Credit Officer, Volunteer State Bank, Portland, TN; Tyler Clinch, President & CEO, First Community Bank of East Tennessee, Kingsport, TN; Scott Cocanougher, CEO, First Community Bank of Tennessee, Shelbyville, TN; and Judy Long, President & COO, First Citizens National Bank, Dyersburg, TN

Studies show that men and women working together in business lead-ership produce better results than businesses with only men in leader-ship roles. The Catalyst Report links performance and gender balance in Fortune 500 companies with a significantly higher performance advantage: 83 percent better return on equity and 112 percent better return on invested capital. Clearly, it is in the best interest of financial institutions to foster professional growth of both men and women in bank leadership roles. Studies also show that men and women work and think differently. Financial institutions that take advantage of choosing the best talent, regardless of gender, avail themselves of the best brains and talent available to make smart, profitable decisions. If your financial institution is seeking a competitive advantage, you will want to attend this session to learn how executives on the panel foster the advancement of women in their organizations.

2:00 p.m. Coffee Break Sponsored by Watkins Uiberall, PLLC, Memphis, TN

2:15 p.m. Community Impact: Loving the World a Person at a Time The Rev. Becca Stevens, Founder, Thistle Farms, and Chaplain, St. Augustine’s at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN

Thistle Farms’ mission is to HEAL, EMPOWER, AND EMPLOY women of trafficking, prostitution, and addiction. They do this by providing safe and supportive housing, the opportunity for economic independence, and a strong community of advocates and partners. Thistle Farms’ comprehensive model offers women hope and healing through a holistic residential program, employment with one of their social enterprises, and a growing national and global network dedicated to changing a culture that allows human beings to be bought and sold. They believe that in the end, love is the most powerful force for change in the world. Join Rev. Becca Stevens as she shares inspiring stories from her 20 years with This-tle Farms as she raised money and started new enterprises around the world. She will offer ways we can increase our community impact through working together, staying for the long haul, and loving the whole world.
