SUMMARY:LEAP: Leadership Experience and Celebration: Currents of Change (in Los Angeles)
DESCRIPTION:Currents of Change is a two-day immersive leadership experience that brings together Asian and Pacific Islander (API) leaders and community members across sectors to convene and navigate the evolution of leadership. Building on a legacy of resilience\, this series invites participants to explore how today’s leaders are shaping the future with purpose\, adaptability\, and vision. Through connection and action\, Currents of Change empowers individuals to embrace transformation toward a more inclusive\, forward looking\, and dynamic tomorrow. \nThis year’s LEC theme\, Currents of Change\, invites us to ask what it means to lead through uncertainty – not just by reacting to change\, but by shaping what comes next. Across two days\, attendees will engage in workshops and experiences designed to strengthen how we lead ourselves\, our teams\, and our communities\, including: \nWORKSHOPS: \n\n\n\n\n\nBREAKING FREE | LEADING BEYOND THE SPELL\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJULY 15 | 11:10AM-12:20PM | LOCATION TBD \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFACILITATED BY | DR. FATIMA BUSTOS-CHOY \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nINTENDED FOR | ALL PROFESSIONALS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis workshop explores the hidden beliefs\, inherited narratives\, and systemic influences that shape leadership beneath the surface. Using the “spell” as a powerful metaphor\, this workshop invites participants to examine the “root of the root” of how fear\, self-doubt\, over-accommodation\, and disconnection from identity can affect how they lead. Guided by the Five SoulSteps™ —Awareness\, Acceptance\, Awakening\, Arising\, and Actualizing—participants will begin moving from hidden conditioning toward more grounded\, authentic\, courageous\, and conscious leadership. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT DR. FATIMA BUSTOS-CHOY \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDEVELOPING MORAL COURAGE | SPEAKING UP EFFECTIVELY IN MOMENTS OF BIAS\, POWER IMBALANCE\, AND INEQUITY\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJULY 15 | 11:10AM-12:20PM | LOCATION TBD \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFACILITATED BY | HAYDEN LEE \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nINTENDED FOR | MID-SENIOR LEVEL AND EXECUTIVE PROFESSIONALS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLeaders often face moments where bias\, privilege\, and power dynamics emerge in real time. This interactive session equips participants with practical tools and strategies to recognize these moments\, act with integrity\, and speak up effectively. Through reflective exercises and scenario-based practice\, leaders will build confidence\, strengthen their moral courage\, and develop skills to navigate high-stakes interactions while fostering inclusive\, accountable\, and high-performing teams. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT HAYDEN LEE \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSTRATEGIC FRAMING FOR INFLUENCE AND LEADERSHIP IMPACT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJULY 15 | 11:10AM-12:20PM | LOCATION TBD \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFACILITATED BY | CHINGCHA VANG \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nINTENDED FOR | NEW TO MID-LEVEL PROFESSIONALS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis interactive workshop introduces framing as a way to clarify intention\, audience\, and impact while also developing greater awareness of organizational power\, informal influence\, and decision-making pathways. Participants will learn how to apply framing not only to communicate more effectively\, but to navigate complex environments with greater strategic awareness and intention. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT CHINGCHA VANG \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNAVIGATING CROSSCURRENTS | BRAIN EDUCATION-BASED SELF-LEADERSHIP FOR CLARITY\, EQUITY\, AND ADAPTIVITY\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJULY 16 | 12:00PM-1:10PM | LOCATION TBD \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFACILITATED BY | HOPE IHM \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nINTENDED FOR | ALL PROFESSIONALS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDesigned for leaders at all levels\, this session provides accessible\, practical tools that can be immediately applied in professional and community contexts. By strengthening internal competencies such as self-awareness\, self-regulation\, and self-motivation\, participants will be better equipped to navigate complexity\, build trust\, and lead with authenticity and effectiveness in times of change. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT HOPE IHM \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPOWER\, GATEKEEPING\, AND ACCOUNTABILITY\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJULY 16 | 12:00PM-1:10PM | LOCATION TBD \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFACILITATED BY | FARAH BALA \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is a crucial topic to explore and measure our relationship to power and build equitability and inclusive system. All leaders use power in different ways as they become gatekeepers of their teams\, divisions or organizations. It covers the key concepts of decision making that creates either an inclusive or oppressive organizational culture. A conscious use of Power can be used as a force for good\, deepening inclusion and psychological safety for all. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nINTENDED FOR | EXECUTIVE PROFESSIONALS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT FARAH BALA \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCURRENTS OF CHANGE | ARE YOU LEADING THE CHANGE OR JUST SURVIVING THE DAY?\n\n\n\n\n\nJULY 16 | 12:00PM-1:10PM | LOCATION TBD \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFACILITATED BY | STEVE TERUSAKI \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nINTENDED FOR | ALL PROFESSIONALS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn an era of relentless disruption\, leaders often mistake activity for progress. This high-impact\, 50-minute “sprint” workshop empowers participants to move beyond reactive firefighting and reclaim their strategic edge. Utilizing the Importance x Urgency Matrix\, leaders will audit their current decision-making habits and engage in a high-pressure simulation to master the “Strategic No.” By connecting internal prioritization with external horizon scanning\, participants will build the cognitive capacity required to navigate uncertainty\, ensuring they lead the change rather than simply surviving the day.
