Community and Counsel: Building Your Brain Trust

In this inspiring and actionable keynote, Kendra Bracken-Ferguson explores the power of building your own brain trust—a deeply personal and intentional network of mentors, advisors, peers and truth-tellers who champion your vision and protect your purpose. Drawing from her bestselling book The Beauty of Success: Start, Grow, and Accelerate Your Brand, Bracken-Ferguson will share real-world lessons on how to identify, nurture and lean into your brain trust as an essential tool for sustainable leadership and self-motivation. From boardrooms to breakdowns, she’ll unpack why no founder—and no woman—should navigate the path alone. Attendees will walk away with a renewed sense of clarity on the role community plays in personal and professional success, and how to intentionally build the counsel they need to grow with confidence and grace.
