shape what comes next.
Technology is changing how work gets done. Economic and social pressures are shaping what organizations need to become. And the decisions leaders make through these changes affect people’s livelihoods, relationships, and sense of possibility.
Drawing on her experience in executive leadership, organizational strategy, and the arts, Candice connects big questions about our changing world to the choices leaders make every day.

Lessons on AI from Pottery
What making things teaches us about changing work.
A potter pays attention to the material, the process, and the person who will use what they create. What happens when we bring that same attention to AI?
This talk explores how leaders can approach adoption thoughtfully, question the processes they’re accelerating, and make deliberate choices about how people experience work.
When What You’ve Built Needs to Become Something Different
Leading through changes that reach beyond your organization.
Business, technology, and society shape one another. When those relationships shift, leaders need to reconsider how work happens, where people contribute, and which structures still serve a purpose.
This talk explores how to recognize when familiar approaches no longer fit—and begin making room for what comes next.
When Collaboration Starts to Feel Personal
Staying open when another perspective challenges your own.
It’s easy to welcome input that supports our thinking. It’s harder when someone asks us to reconsider, slow down, or make room for something we hadn’t anticipated.
This talk explores how leaders can recognize defensiveness, give different perspectives a fair hearing, and support a shared decision even when they would have chosen differently.
