RALEIGH – The Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce is hosting a women’s leadership conference on Tuesday, featuring keynote speaker Rebecca Ryan. And she’s coming to the capital city ready to talk the future and women’s roles in it.
Ryan is one of a few hundred people in the world who holds the APF designation, a designation from the Association of Professional Futurists. In an exclusive interview with WRAL TechWire, Ryan shared that her talk will discuss “why the future is women”.
“As a futurist, I’ve got some long-range perspective,” said Ryan. “I’m going to really wear my futurist hat, and I want to talk about the signals of the future that I’m seeing and why the long bet is on women in the future,” said Ryan.
Ryan also said that the talk will be designed for both men and women leaders because gender diversity affects all companies.
“Basically, everyone gets a pay increase when there are more women,” said Ryan. “And so, if you had to have a canary in the coal mine, this is one to watch and one to take care of and nurture. Because as go your women in the workplace, so will go your workplace.”
As a futurist, Ryan helps companies and organizations apply long-range thinking to challenges and opportunities.
“We are living between two worlds: the familiar pre-COVID world and the unfamiliar, still-emerging post-COVID world,” wrote Ryan in a recent blog post. “This can be unsettling for folks who prefer stability. Which is all of us.”
