This year’s Women’s Leadership Forum invites participants of all gender identities to explore the evolving role of women in professional sports and leadership!
Kansas City is having a defining moment in sports, and women are helping lead it from every angle. This dynamic Women’s Leadership Forum brings together influential women shaping the business, culture, and future of professional sports in Kansas City. Through a candid Game Changer Spotlight and an executive panel featuring leaders from the Kansas City Chiefs, Kansas City Royals, and KC Current, attendees will hear what it takes to lead highly visible organizations, build winning teams, navigate pressure, and create opportunities in traditionally male-dominated spaces. Designed as a live morning broadcast, the experience will blend bold conversation, personal stories, and practical leadership insights.
Attendees will leave inspired to think bigger about their influence, lead confidently from wherever they sit, and consider one powerful question: What’s your World Cup? Featuring:
Jillian Carroll Letrinko, KC Current Broadcast Host and previous FIFA Ambassador, Sideline Reporter, News Anchor, Cheerleader, and Division I Athlete
Sheila Sickau, Kansas City Chiefs Sr Manager, Football Development, and KC Glory President
