We often think of boundaries as learning how to say no…

But what if that’s only part of the story?

At the BPW Iowa Annual Meeting & Spring Conference, we’re kicking things off with a powerful session led by Kris Lehman, MBA, SHRM-SCP, founder of The Common Thread—an organization focused on cultivating inner wisdom, meaningful connection, and intentional leadership.

What if boundaries are really about creating space for what brings you a full body yes?

Kris brings a unique blend of executive leadership experience and contemplative practice, helping people move from reflection to real, practical change. With a background in higher education and nonprofit leadership, she has spent her career pairing strategy with curiosity, compassion, and continuous learning.

In this interactive and uplifting session, you’ll:

💜 Reconnect with your inner wisdom

💜 Clarify what truly deserves your time and energy

💜 Reflect on what you want to prioritize in this season of life

💜 Practice language that makes room for what matters most

Through guided reflection, meditation, and an empowering exercise, you’ll walk away with clarity and permission to protect your peace and purpose.

Because sometimes the most powerful “no”…starts with a clear and confident yes.
