In high-performance environments, the real challenge isn’t the pressure; it’s how we respond to it. Trust is the ultimate leadership currency and determines whether teams fracture or flourish. In this keynote, Rashida Jones explores how leaders earn, protect, and multiply trust when the stakes are high. She explains how self-trust fuels clear decision-making, how trust within teams builds resilience, and how trust from others strengthens credibility under fire. Attendees leave with a framework for leading through intensity that is grounded in composure, accountability, and the kind of steady confidence that inspires people to follow when the pressure is on.
Change is constant, but disruption is defining. Drawing from her experience leading creative teams and shaping how stories, culture, and media reflect the moment we’re in, Rashida shows how reinvention is not just survival, but strategy. She explores how curiosity fuels progress, how technology like AI expands creative possibility, and how the most effective leaders turn uncertainty into momentum.
