Fairfax, VA – March 31, 2022 – The National Pest Management Association (NPMA) announced today three keynote speakers that will kickstart each day of the Women’s Forum, taking place May 3-5 in Nashville, TN.

Starting things off on Tuesday, May 3 is Brigid Schulte, Director of the Better Life Lab & The Good Life Initiative at New America, presenting her session, Overwhelmed: How to Work, Love, Play When No One Has the Time. Drawing on her extensive research for her best-selling book and in her role as director of The Better Life Lab at New America, Brigid uses stories and data to show how transforming that outdated work culture, focusing on mission, performance, flexibility and healthy, happy workers, not only leads to better work, but allows time for a better life.
Wednesday, May 4 programming features Kristen Hadeed, Founder of Student Maid, Igniter at Start With Why with her session Human Leadership: Be You! In this session, Kristen shares the story of how she embraced her imperfections and created an environment where anyone, no matter their gender, role, or background, can become the best version of themselves.
Finishing things off on Thursday, May 5 is Shasta Nelson, Friendship Expert, with her session The Resilient Workplace: How to Create a Supportive Culture. In this session, Shasta, author of The Business of Friendship: Making the Most of the Relationships Where We Spend Most of Our Time, combines science, story, and real-life application to inspire more meaningful connections at work, creating an organizational culture that thrives.
