Keynote Sessions

Monica Dominic

Ferocious Ambition

In this powerful keynote titled “Ferocious Ambition,” Monica will take you on an inspiring journey of resilience, determination, and collaboration. As a seasoned leader and advocate for growth, Monica understands that success is not a straight line—it’s filled with challenges, failures, and moments of doubt. But it’s in these moments that true strength is forged.

During this hour, Monica will dive deep into how to carve out your unique path to success, sharing personal experiences and practical strategies. You’ll learn how to embrace failure as a stepping stone, get back up, dust yourself off, and keep pushing forward with Ferocious Ambition.

One of the key takeaways will be the importance of leveraging the mentors around you. Whether you’re already working with a mentor or searching for one (or more), you’ll discover actionable insights on how to build and nurture these invaluable relationships. Additionally, Monica will introduce the concept of “collabHERation,” a powerful way to partner with other women to elevate your success and theirs.

And don’t miss out—there’s a special surprise planned that will leave you inspired and energized to take your ambition to the next level.
