The Power To Change Is Yours: Power Up Conference Is Jet Fuel For Your Career
Dr. Joynicole Martinez, founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Alchemist Agency, is a speaker at the Power Up Conference.
You can definitely find scores of reasons to attend Take The Lead’s “Power Up: Igniting The Intentional Leader Within” conference later this month in Scottsdale, Az. What you likely can’t find is a reason not to attend.
Gloria Feldt, co-founder and president of Take The Lead, will be revealing for the first time to conference attendees the leadership power tools she has been developing over the past year.
“At the #PowerUp conference in Scottsdale this month, @Gloria Feldt will be revealing for the first time the new leadership #powertools she has been developing.”
“Every leader needs her power tools,” says Feldt, who will be a keynote and constant presence at the conference. “I have been working on creating a set of additional 9 Power Tools to go with the original 9 Leadership Power Tools for the last year and am going to share and reveal them only to the people at the conference.”
Feldt adds, “Some people have called these power tools jet fuel for their career. And that’s what I want them to be.”

The two-day summit has a roster of more than 30 leaders from around the country offering TEDx-like talks, keynotes, panels and lightning rounds “designed for women committed to owning their power and using their voice to become influential leaders of change,” says Felicia Davis, CEO and leadership brand strategist of The Black Women's Collective, a Take The Lead leadership ambassador and creator of the conference.
An information-rich conference app allows participants to network before, during, and after the conference, receive presentation documents, view the event agenda, plan their schedule and social activities, and get organizer updates.

"The beauty of the app is that women can start connecting with other women before the event," says Davis.
The roster of key leaders includes Dr. Joynicole Martinez, founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Alchemist Agency, a management and leadership development consulting firm, who will be sharing her strategies, insights and wisdom.
“One of the most important pieces of advice ever given to me as a woman in leadership was to define my leadership style and be careful about moving from that construct. That is what I think the attendees will receive - strategies, tools, definitions, and foundations to use as they are ‘ignited’ as leaders. When you have this core set of principles and tools - you can be intentional as a leader and as a person,” Martinez says.
An award-winning international speaker and trainer with over 20 years of experience providing capacity-building services, including fund development, leadership and board training, strategic planning, and performance management and optimization, Martinez says, “I think that’s the takeaway—the chance to share dialog and listen to wisdom as we discover how a woman uses her innate gifts and talents alongside her training and experience to truly stand in her power, to elevate her voice, to be authentic in how she engages others— and the opportunity to refine this into something personal while establishing connections and friendships.”
For two days beginning February 28, and culminating on Leap Day, February 29, scores of sessions, talks and panels will feature speakers on topics such as the Women, Wealth & Winning Panel, highlighting the contributions of Cheyenne Muhammed, Jenny Domingo and Denise Lee, founder and CEO of Alala.

Engle says, “I want to share the idea that the conversation is not about the relationship... the conversation is the relationship. Whatever quality you want—authentic, honest, fun—your relationship to be, those are the qualities of the conversations you need to have.”

She adds, “I also want to share that it is so key to ask for help when building relationships. It is counter intuitive, and my career changed trajectory when I just continually sought guidance and being okay with not knowing all the answers. Holding that space.”
