OFIC 2025 Summit
Creating SPACE
Explore new SPACE with us.
Leading is always challenging, but leading in ever-changing and highly-polarized sectors can feel almost impossible.
We invite you to come be a part of exploring some new leadership SPACE with us. The OFIC 2025 Summit is an immersive leadership development experience that invites you to engage in real and courageous conversations.
This is a confidential, no-recording working session — built for reflection, growth, and transformation. Because with the right SPACE, what once felt impossible becomes possible.
A collaborative effort between:

Why Attend?
Hear from the day’s session leader, Daniel Juday.
Morning Sessions:
Settling into the Space: Welcome & Agenda
We’ll set the stage for the day, creating alignment around our agenda, and building some ground rules to protect our boundaries and privacy while also acknowledging the weight of the work that brings us into the room, and the need for meaningful engagement around it.
Supporting Reflectivity: Values & Motivators
We’ll wrestle with questions like how our experiences lead us toward certain assumptions about our intent, how we understand that intent and align it (or not) to our decisions, and how the nature of history and social structures complicate our leadership in shared spaces.
Provoking Engagement: Questions & Conflict
We’ll explore what it means to become master question-askers and skilled listeners, all in an effort to earnestly engage in conflict as both a direction toward collaboration rather than a dead-end argument and as an eager willingness to seek connection above comfort.
Lunch Break - Provided by OFIC
Afternoon Sessions:
Accepting Ownership: Curiosity & Accountability
We’ll acknowledge that asking good questions and engaging in conflict open us to learning, and we’ll explore how to converge “I knew that,” “I didn’t know that,” and “I didn’t know that I didn't know that” in a learning journey that often feels as messy as it does meaningful.
Casting Vision: Now & Next
We’ll expand our capacity to identify the legacy of our now - what our ruts and rhythms are - and how they both buoy and blind us, and we’ll talk about how to wrestle with what “better” looks like as we think about what our next might be, and how to catalyze others toward it.
Enacting Change: Effort & Transformation
We’ll collaborate together to design our next best actions, determining what shared tools are at our disposal, what we might need to lean out of that we’ve become accustomed to, and where we want to lean into to-do items that move us toward our next.
