HOSTED BY: MIND OVER TALENT

Forget the buzzwords —
this isn’t a “leadership lecture.”
It’s a workshop about what leadership looks and feels like when you’re in the middle of it. With Shay Ahearn, former Maryland Lacrosse standout, and Mind Over Talent, we’ll dig into what it means to lead where your feet are — to show up, raise your own standard, and make your team better from wherever you stand.
Because the truth is:
Leadership doesn’t start with a title.
It starts with you.
In this 40-minute workshop, you’ll learn:
-
The difference between being in charge and being respected
-
How to build trust without being perfect
-
What to do when leadership feels uncomfortable
-
How to find your voice and use it to lift others
-
Why your energy is contagious — for better or worse
This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about doing what matters, with purpose.
Why Learn With Shay Ahearn
As a former Maryland Lacrosse standout, Shay knows what it’s like to lead from every seat — starter, sub, teammate, captain, and mentor.
Her experience is raw, relatable, and packed with lessons about resilience, influence, and leading before she got the official title.
Shay will share the moments that shaped her — the ones that don’t always make the highlight reel — and how she learned that leadership isn’t about being the loudest, the best, or waiting for someone to hand you the opportunity.
“Being a leader encompasses so much more than simply being a captain. Leaders take all forms - It’s all about pairing your strengths with your team’s needs and leading through that space.”— Shay Ahearn
