In the ever-evolving landscape of public service, change isn’t just inevitable—it’s sacred. This session explores the journey of navigating professional transformation, department-level change, and personal growth within local government leadership. Dominique Davis—City Clerk, Assistant to the City Manager, and Public Affairs Officer—shares her powerful story of stepping into executive leadership amid organizational restructuring, evolving political priorities, and her own professional reclassification.  With a storyteller’s voice and a strategist’s mind, Dominique will walk attendees through:  The emotional terrain of change—fear, resistance, and radical courage  Lessons in leading when the path ahead isn’t fully paved  The art of aligning purpose with policy in public agencies  Building resilient teams during uncertain times  Embracing transformation not just as a process, but as a calling  This session is designed for public sector professionals at all levels who find themselves at the edge of change and are ready to cross over into their next chapter with clarity, confidence, and conviction.
