The Future of Leadership Summits for Working Moms

As we approach the final quarter of the year, it’s hard to believe how fast 2024 has flown by. It feels like just yesterday we were setting resolutions, outlining ambitious goals, and planning for success. You know, the kind of goals where you confidently declare, “This is the year I’ll finally get fit, double my savings, and maybe even learn a new language!” Fast forward to today, and well... that gym membership? Still unused. The savings account? Let’s not even go there. And as for learning a new language—does binge-watching K-Dramas with subtitles count?

But now, here we are, in that critical time of reflection. It’s when both personally and professionally, we stop to ask: How did we do this year? Did we meet our expectations, or did we—like so many times before—get sidetracked by unrealistic goals, poor planning, or just life in general? The truth is, many of us fall into the same trap year after year, setting grand goals with the best of intentions, only to fall short because they weren’t realistic or measurable in the first place.

And yet, what do we do? We roll into the new year with a fresh plan—equally ambitious, and probably still unachievable! If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that successful goal setting needs to be grounded in reality. If you can't measure it, track it, and break it into achievable steps, you're just setting yourself up for another year of Netflix and "maybe next year!"

For many in the corporate world, this time of year is marked by leadership summits, strategic planning sessions, and year-end team events. And let’s be real—these gatherings are essential. Whether for budget planning, goal setting, or reviewing the past year’s performance, they’re designed to ensure that targets are hit, lessons are learned, and teams are aligned for the upcoming year.

But here's a question I’m sure you’ve thought about: How many of these events actually fulfill their purpose? How many times have these “essential” gatherings ended up as just social events—a chance to unwind, have a few drinks, and celebrate the year that was? Don’t get me wrong, we all need to relax and enjoy a well-deserved break. But the reality is, too often, organizations miss the opportunity to reflect, recalibrate, and truly plan for the future. Instead, they gloss over the real purpose—failing to properly equip their teams for what lies ahead.

Now, let me ask you this: How many leadership summits or strategy sessions have you seen specifically designed for the powerhouse that is the working mother? For the woman who is juggling a high-pressure career, deadlines, meetings, and—let’s not forget—parenting responsibilities all at once? We’ve all been part of leadership retreats, right? But have you ever heard of one that addresses the unique challenges and untapped potential of working moms? Probably not.
