Join us at Busboys and Poets for a powerful, thought-provoking evening with award-winning executive and bestselling author Dr. Tonya Jackman Hampton as she shares insights from her book, The Myth of the Fearless Leader: Exposing a Path Beyond Fight, Flight, and Freeze.
In an age defined by fear, change, and rising uncertainty, Dr. Jackman Hampton offers a bold invitation: let go of outdated leadership myths and embrace the courage it takes to “Working Through Fear” — yes, WTF. Her transformational message challenges us to turn what feels shocking into fuel for momentum, growth, and authentic leadership.
Moderated by Howard Ross, esteemed author of Our Search for Belonging and a nationally respected thought leader on inclusion and cultural transformation, this conversation promises to be both meaningful and memorable.
Dr. Jackman Hampton, EdD, is a nationally recognized speaker, consultant, and certified executive coach with over 30 years of leadership experience across Fortune 500 companies and nonprofit organizations. She’s served in roles such as Chief People and Culture Officer at Hennepin Healthcare and Chief Human Resources Officer at UC San Diego Health. She is the Founder and CEO of Sequel Consulting Group, a breast cancer survivor, avid runner, and proud mother who brings both depth and lived experience to the stage.
Bring your questions. Bring a friend. Bring your brave.
This is more than a book talk — it’s a movement.
