Get ready for our first annual virtual ONE WORLD CEO Summit! Our early stage CEO Summit brings together social impact and purpose-driven founders, based on the philosophy that “leaders learn best from other leaders.” The topics have been chosen based on the top themes across our five different CEO Network groups.
Impact CEOs will share stories, best practices, insights, as well as challenges in managing the highs and lows of their startup journey. The Summit is designed to equip founders with the tools they need to grow their startups and build businesses that last. During The Superpower Marketplace, our version of an “open mic,” participants can try out new ideas or share specific practices that they have mastered in a collaborative environment.
In addition to compelling content, we have designed a unique structure to the Summit which allows participants to learn alongside their own “pod” to facilitate networking both before and after each session.
Goals:
Networking -participants meet at least 10 new CEOs
Education- providing exposure to new ideas and practices that other CEOs use
Exposure- create a platform to showcase the work of the member companies

Agenda
10:00 AM: Managing Yourself - Emotional Well Being
Before building anything- let alone a new company- you as the founder need to be fit and ready for the journey ahead. Especially in our current times, the amount of stress in the workplace is staggering and directly impedes individual health, team health, and professional success. This session will cover: As CEO, what’s your role in achieving emotional well being for your company? How do you as a leader stay healthy and manage stress? How do you support your team?

Bailey Farren, CEO & Founder, Perimeter
Kelsey Moreira, CEO & Founder, Doughp
