Related Event: 

Administrative Professionals Conference, March 24-26, 2026

Overview:

Change is no longer a season—it's a constant. For administrative professionals in the electric utility industry, that means navigating shifting leadership structures, evolving roles, and rising expectations. But resilience is not only about surviving—it's about showing up with intention, adaptability, and strength, even when the ground is shifting beneath you. 

In this powerful session, Peggy Vasquez will share the strategies that helped her lead through change while supporting high-level executives, managing crises, and eventually building a global speaking business. This isn't a motivational speech about staying positive. It's a real, relatable road map for staying grounded, leading yourself, and inspiring those around you.  

With warmth, humor, and deeply human storytelling, Peggy will give you practical tools you can use immediately to foster courage, clarity, and forward momentum in the face of uncertainty.
