Walmart Women’s Empowerment Summit

September 22, 2022

A one-of-a-kind, half-day learning event focusing on relevant topics and important causes for business leaders. Attendees will be challenged to stop looking backwards and be inspired and empowered to use this key inflection point to make intentional choices with this year’s theme of “What’s Next? Creating Your Next Normal.”

Keynote speaker Brandon Fleming – an at-risk youth and college dropout turned award-winning educator, will be sharing his personal story of transformation, and how he’s inspiring the next generation to take the next step on their journey.

Lydia Ko, two-time major champion and the youngest LPGA golfer in history to reach No.1 in any world ranking, will be sitting down with Kimberly-Clark Customer Vice President and NextUp board member Al Dominguez. After an incredible start to her career, Lydia was winless for three years and faced criticism in the media. Lydia’s path back to the winner’s circle is a journey of growth, independence, tough decisions and finding happiness both on and off the golf course.

Appearances from:

  • Jostein Solheim (CEO Health & Wellbeing at Unilever) to share his thoughts on what the Next Normal looks like for businesses
  • Sarah Alter (NextUp President + CEO) to discuss the story of transformation from NEW to NextUp
  • Dr. Nick Ogle, a licensed therapist, who will share the importance of self-care in overcoming burnout
  • Walmart executives

A virtual option (Zoom link) will be available for those unable to attend the full event in person and will be shared out to registrants prior to the event. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit https://www.nextupisnow.org/events/event-calendar/2022-womens-empowerment-summit/.
