Where Confidence Meets Community: Seattle’s Women in Leadership Breakfast Returns with Bold Voices and Big Vision

By Linda Lowry

The Seattle Sports Commission Women in Leadership Breakfast has always been more than a morning gathering, it’s a mirror held up to the evolving face of leadership. This year, as the ballroom at The Westin fills with voices from across industries, the theme of confidence takes center stage, not as a buzzword, but as a lived experience.

For anyone craving connection, clarity, or a confidence boost, WILB offers a front-row seat to conversations that linger long after the last panel ends. It’s where seasoned executives and emerging leaders gather not just to network but also to reflect, recharge, and reimagine what leadership looks like today.

This year’s theme centers on confidence and how we build it, embody it, and pass it on. Attendees will hear from women who’ve carved out careers rooted in authenticity, resilience, and bold decision-making. Every moment, from keynote insights to panel discussions, is designed to spark reflection and ignite action.

Executive leadership coach and author Jule Kim will open the morning with a keynote focused on a return to ourselves. That spirit of intentional growth carries into the first panel, where the conversation turns to personal branding in the digital age. In a world where visibility can feel performative, these women remind us that authenticity is still the most powerful strategy. Kena Peay, a Seattle-based chef and entrepreneur, shares how she left a successful tech career to follow her passion for food. With over 13 million views on TikTok, her journey is a testament to the power of reinvention and self-belief.

Megan Sheffield, a seasoned brand strategist whose career spans the Portland Fire, Seattle Storm, Microsoft, Amazon, and LinkedIn, reflects on the importance of alignment. Tomorrow’s breakfast is about showing up, fully, honestly, and with the courage to grow.

For anyone craving connection, clarity, or a confidence boost, WILB offers a front-row seat to the kind of conversations that linger long after the last panel ends. It’s where seasoned executives and emerging leaders gather not just to network, but to reflect, recharge, and reimagine what leadership looks like today.
