May Session

A Retaliation Case Study: When Speaking Up Backfires

🗓️ Date: Wednesday, May 28, 2025

⏰ Time: Noon EDT / 11:00 am CDT / 9:00 PDT

📍 Location: Virtual (link sent upon registration)

In this session, we’ll examine a real-world case of workplace retaliation in the aviation and aerospace industry—one where a woman’s decision to report inappropriate behavior resulted not in protection, but punishment. From being sidelined and reassigned to ultimately leaving the company, her experience exposes the organizational blind spots and leadership failures that are still far too common.

Together with a panel of experts, we’ll explore:

• What retaliation really looks like in corporate settings

• How HR and leadership responses often fall short

• The long-term cost of silence, inaction, or denial

• Practical steps leaders can take to foster accountability and psychological safety

If we want to retain the best talent—especially women and underrepresented professionals—then how we respond when someone does the right thing matters more than ever.

Join us for a powerful, unfiltered conversation.
