Lead Like A
MOTHER
Helm Summit is curated by design.
You’ll gain access to:
Relationships that expand your personal boardroom
Practical strategies to increase capacity in business and life
Wellness and performance insights for sustainable leadership
Tools and systems that create greater freedom at home and at work
Fresh perspectives around influence, growth, and modern leadership
Greater clarity around the life and legacy you are building
You’ll also experience an intimate look inside The Helm itself, including the relationships, visibility, and support that continue for members long after the Summit ends.
Two days of recognition,
connection, leadership, and honest conversation for women building full
lives and powerful legacies.
Hosted by Amy Stasiukaitis, founder of The Helm, the Helm Summit is an elevated experience designed for mothers who lead at a high level and desire more than surface-level inspiration.
Built for high-capacity women navigating ambition and motherhood simultaneously, the Summit recognizes that motherhood is not separate from leadership. It shapes it.
This is a room full of women building companies, leading teams, raising families, carrying significant responsibility, and still asking themselves what’s next.
