Meet Riya Talwar presenting Not All Heroes Wear Capes ✨

Riya Talwar is an IT Business Analyst based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where she works at the intersection of people and technology. In her day‑to‑day work, she helps teams collaborate, make decisions, and solve problems. She’s passionate about leadership development, inclusivity, and helping people see what makes them uniquely valuable. Whenever possible, Riya loves to travel to new places - bonus points if it's to see the Packers play in a new stadium! When she's not traveling, you can find her bravely struggling through a class at a local fitness studio or snuggling with her 8-year-old rescue pup, Lambeau, who is VERY spoiled and VERY aware of it.

She will be presenting Not All Heroes Wear Capes

We often spend more time and energy focusing on our weaknesses than recognizing the strengths that make us powerful. In this interactive workshop, student leaders will uncover their personal “superpowers" - the strengths, instincts, and qualities that come naturally to them and positively impact others. Through reflection, conversation, and small‑group activities, students will explore how these superpowers show up in everyday situations and why trying to be good at everything is wildly overrated. This session encourages student leaders to focus less on fixing what’s “missing” and more on building confidence in what's already there. Students will leave this workshop with a new appreciation for the hero they already are.

Meet Shannon Clark West presenting Level Up Your Leadership ✨

Shannon Clark is a 2003 WILS alumnae who works within an elementary school setting, supporting both kids and adults in reaching their highest potential. When she isn't chasing her four-year old, Shannon enjoys cooking, gardening, and watching terrible television shows of the housewives variety. Be sure to ask Shannon about her involvement in martial arts when you attend her workshop!

She will be presenting Level Up Your Leadership

Leadership isn't about being perfect or always being the best. It's about understanding our own personal leadership style and learning how we can assess, adjust, and improve how we lead. In this workshop you will learn and practice a method with hands-on activities to improve your unique leadership skills in ways you can use in a variety of situations. Being a good leader means being intentional about your personal growth, and this workshop will provide you with a tool to keep growing long after the workshop ends.
