There’s something powerful about hearing the story behind someone’s success.

At 100 Wise Women, Texas Roadhouse President Gina Tobin shared hers.

From her early days at Chi-Chi’s to joining Texas Roadhouse as a Managing Partner and ultimately rising to President, Gina spoke candidly about the experiences that shaped her, and the kind of leader she wanted to become.

Her stories kept coming back to something bigger than titles: respect, inclusion and teamwork. Creating a place where people feel valued. Giving people opportunities to grow. And understanding that the way you treat people matters.

The conversation didn’t end when Gina left the microphone. Around the room, women shared stories and perspectives of their own, making connections that are at the heart of 100 Wise Women.

Thank you, Gina, for an unforgettable morning, and thank you to our presenting sponsor, JPMorganChase, and everyone who joined us.

We’ll do it again November 20 with Lonnie Ali. https://leadershiplouisville.org/100-wise-women/

What a day for Louisville’s leadership community!

Yesterday, hundreds of leaders came together for the Leadership Louisville Luncheon, and the energy in the room was something special.

New York Times bestselling author and NPR host Steve Inskeep joined us for a timely conversation about curiosity, listening and finding common ground, especially when the noise around us makes that difficult.

But the day was about more than what happened on stage. It was about the conversations around the tables, old connections renewed, new ones made and a community coming together around a shared belief that better leadership makes Louisville stronger.

Thank you to Steve, our speakers, sponsors and everyone who filled the room and brought this day to life.

The Luncheon may be over, but the conversations and the impact continue.
