We Can’t—and Shouldn’t—Do It Alone: Building Your Personal Board of Directors & Disruptors in the Age of AI

October 9, 2025 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (EDT)

Description

Join the Charlotte Area Chamber Wellness Initiative & Women in Business, in partnership with Network Build Grow, for a dynamic conversation on building your Personal Board of Directors & Disruptors—the circle that fuels clarity, courage, accountability, and growth.

You’ll learn how social wellness and strategic leadership intersect to create sustainable success—at work and in life. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, or navigating change, this session will help you stop going it alone and start building the relationships that move you forward.

As AI reshapes how we work, lead, and communicate, one truth remains: we still need people. No algorithm can replace empathy, community, or the kind of support that helps you bounce back stronger.

What You’ll Learn (Key Takeaways)

Why isolation is a silent threat to leadership, performance, and well-being
The six essential roles to be included on your Personal Board of Directors & Disruptors
How to build, engage, and maintain a high-impact support system
Practical ways to foster real connection in a tech-driven, hybrid world
