Show Up, Stand Out, Break Through (Part II): A Founder and CEO's Authentic Leadership Journey
2/20/2024
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM CST

Many of us have experienced hardships, feelings of inadequacy, and burnout at work. We’re not taught how to overcome these obstacles, making them challenging to navigate when we’re feeling stuck. Join us to learn some tips, new tricks, and get personalized advice on how to thrive at work, regardless of the challenges you’re up against. Mark your calendars, you don’t want to miss this!

After her first session with WILD on January 9, 2024, the influx of questions asked about how Odessa Jenkins, CEO of Bonfire and Founder of the Women’s National Football Conference climbed the career ladder sparked the need for more time to learn about Jenkins’ advancements, and give even more time for Q&A. For those who missed Part 1 od the Show Up, Stand Out, Break Through - Part 1, the video is available here.

Jenkins is no stranger to adversity. She has had to persevere through significant hardships, which only made her stronger. Through life’s difficulties, she’s learned how to hone tangible skills and overcome these challenges to achieve so much in her career. Not only is Jenkins the CEO of Bonfire and founder of the first women’s football conference of its kind, but she is also:

  • A successful tech/SAAS business executive.

  • An inaugural participant in the NFL’s first Women’s Career in Football Forum.

  • One of the first women to obtain the coveted Bill Walsh Diversity Internship in an on-field position.

  • An in-demand global speaker/coach.

  • Founder of multiple nonprofits, including, Got Her Back.
