If leadership is about rhythm, then rest is the beat that keeps us moving.
We are thrilled to announce that the 15th Annual OKC Women in Leadership Conference will kick off with a powerful morning keynote from world-renowned cognitive neuroscientist and sleep researcher, Dr. Sara C. Mednick.
In a world that often prizes “always-on” productivity, Dr. Mednick’s research offers a groundbreaking counter-rhythm. As a professor at UC Irvine and the celebrated author of The Hidden Power of the Downstate and Take a Nap! Change Your Life, she is unlocking the biological secrets behind better sleep, sharper cognition, and long-term brain health.
Her work in the 24/7 sleep lab doesn’t just look at closing your eyes; it explores how specific tools—like naps, sound and light therapy, and brain stimulation—can radically transform our performance and emotional well-being.
Dr. Mednick will set the stage for our theme of “Rhythms + Resonance” by teaching us how to access the “Downstate”—that critical period of revitalization that allows us to show up as our best, most resonant selves.
Join us on March 25th to learn why the secret to your next breakthrough might just be a nap.
