Session: The Activated Leader - Managing Transitions like a Pro
In today's tech industry, change isn't coming—it's here. Promotions, reorganizations, new roles, industry shifts—and yet when we face uncertainty, we tend to slow down, get scattered, and lose momentum. What if the opposite were true? What if you could move through transition with clarity, focus, and courageous action?Drawing from nearly a decade at Google and 20+ years leading teams through Fortune 100 transformations, this session introduces The Activation Methodology™—a proven four-phase framework that moves leaders from stuck to strategic when navigating career and organizational change.
You'll discover why most transitions fail (hint: it's not a skills problem, it's a courage problem), and learn the specific tools that high-performing leaders use to stay clear, focused, and taking massive action—even when they don't have all the answers.
Whether you're eyeing your next promotion, leading through a reorganization, or making a bold career pivot, this interactive session will give you the roadmap to navigate any transition with confidence and momentum.
Key Takeaways
- Find Your Core Issue – Learn how to cut through the noise and identify the real challenge keeping you stuck (spoiler: it's usually not what you think), so you can stop wasting energy on symptoms and start solving the actual problem.
- Take Courageous Action – Discover the framework for making decisions and taking bold steps even when you don't have perfect information, turning the vulnerability of transition into your competitive advantage.
- Navigate the In-Between – Master the most difficult phase of any transition—the uncomfortable space between who you were and who you're becoming—and learn how to accelerate momentum when others freeze.
- Accelerate What's Possible – Experience how clarity, confidence, and results begin to compound once you're activated—and discover the practices that create sustainable momentum beyond the initial breakthrough.
Bio
Lilah Jones spent seven years at Google being told she was "too emotional for tech." After receiving a "Needs Improvement" rating that nearly derailed her career, she discovered something revolutionary: emotions aren't weaknesses to hide—they're data to leverage.Today, she coaches the same executives who once questioned her "fit" for leadership. Her breakthrough framework transforms what leaders have been taught to suppress into their most powerful strategic asset. From retention rates jumping 67% to 100% with three questions, to turning team anxiety into early warning systems for broken processes, Lilah proves that the leaders who win aren't the ones who feel less—they're the ones who know how to read their emotional dashboard.
A sought-after keynote speaker, Lilah has shared stages with Fortune 500 CEOs and spoken at Grace Hopper, LinkedIn Creator events, and executive leadership summits. Her signature "Activated Leadership" methodology helps leaders stop managing people out and start managing them up—turning their biggest critics into their strongest advocates.
When she takes the stage, audiences don't just learn leadership theory. They discover why their biggest criticism might be pointing to their biggest gift—and leave with the exact tools to leverage it.
