The Hidden Power of Being an Outsider – Turning Life’s Obstacles into Employee & Organizational Success

Do you ever feel like an outsider and often wonder what it takes to thrive and develop as a professional within this space? 

Stacy Spikes, Co-Founder & CEO of MoviePass knows what it's like to be an outsider. He certainly knew he didn’t fit the mold of a successful future tech entrepreneur. But he marshaled his resilience and ultimately set out to shatter that mold—along with the glass ceiling that came with it. Finding his footing in the tech world was an education in the complexities of being an outsider—but as Stacy came to see, rather than a hindrance, it afforded him a unique position of power.

Please join us and listen as Stacy will reveal the exact tools he’s used to persevere in the face of adversity, defy stereotypes, and share practical steps on what organizations need to focus on to create cultures that truly foster inclusion, and belonging.

USA Today named Stacy one of the 21 most influential Blacks in technology. In addition to his empowering, bracingly honest, entertaining blueprint for success, he’ll include some anecdotes of what really happened to MoviePass, the nation’s groundbreaking first-ever theatrical subscription service. 

We will also leave time for an interview where we’ll be taking questions from the audience.
