Southwest Region - An Evening with Ginni Rometty, Author of "Good Power"

Join the Southwest Region on March 10, 2026 at the FGCU Water School for an exclusive "but for" experience you won't want to miss.

We're bringing you an intimate fireside chat with business leader, Ginni Rometty, former Chairman and CEO of IBM and author of the bestseller Good Power.

Moderated by Leadership Florida Board Chair Michael Wynn, the conversation will explore how purpose-drive leadership can transform organizations, communities, and more.

• The 5 Principles of Good Power: How to drive meaningful change by leading with respect rather than fear and celebrating progress over perfection.
• Leading Through Transformation: Insights from Ginni’s tenure at IBM on how to identify what must change and what must endure during times of radical industry shifts.
• The Future of Technology: A forward-looking discussion on AI, hybrid cloud, and quantum computing, and how to steward "Good Tech" to build trust and inclusion.
• Skills-First Leadership: Why shifting the focus from degrees to skills can open doors for millions and create a more resilient, diverse workforce.
• Resilience & Empathy: Hard-won lessons on navigating a "challenging childhood" to the C-suite, and why getting comfortable with being uncomfortable is the key to growth.
