Leading Women Defined 2025

Where do the world's most powerful women go to be real?

There is a specific kind of isolation that comes with high-level leadership. You are always "on." You are always the one holding the vision.

That is why Debra Lee’s Leading Women Defined conference is so vital.

Debra hasn't just built a conference; she has built a sanctuary. She is incredibly intentional about curating access to the most influential women for the most influential women.

It is the only place where you can run into Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson in the ladies' room, or hear Vice President Kamala Harris speak candidly in one of her first appearances after her presidential run.

But the magic isn't just the names. It’s the nuance.

Because the room is safe, the conversations are real.

• We talk about the Wins, yes.

• But we also address the Defeats. The fatigue. The sacrifices.

  
  

I am always honored to be part of this community. And while the speakers are legendary, I learn just as much from the women sitting next to me.

Thank you, Debra, for curating a space where we are celebrated not just for what we do, but for who we are.
