    CONFERENCE ITINERARY

    MORNING BREAKOUT SESSIONS

    WHAT'S YOUR DESTINATION

     

    There's a big world out there with lots of opportunities to do lots of things but it can be overwhelming and chaotic if you don’t intentionally decide what you want for you. This session will help you to clearly set your vision and how to make it a reality.

    CHECK IN

     

    Are your bags too heavy? Are you carrying too much stuff? Baggage can slow you down and it can cost you precious time and money. See how to identify the things weighing you down and how to lighten your load.

    READY FOR DEPARTURE

     

    You're at the gate and ready to go but what do you do when there are unexpected delays, gate changes or, even worse, what can feel like life altering last minute “cancellations.”

    WHO ARE YOU TAKING WITH YOU

     

    Having the right circle can determine whether you have a restful and relaxing trip or come back home angry and tired. Learn the importance of having the right people around you and - sometimes - cutting ties with those who who can’t see your vision or who only want to hold you back.

    LUNCH

    A first class lunch prepared by the the executive chef and team from the historic Decatur Club.

     

    4 WOMEN. 40 IDEAS. 40 MINUTES

    THEME: In Flight

    Four women of power will bring you 40 proven ideas for how to navigate your world while on the way to the life you want during a fast paced 40 minutes. Hear the “crew” talk about

    how to buckle up for changes in plans, turbulence and about bracing yourself during emergency landings.

    You’ll also learn the power of enjoying the trip and of being in awe of all that “being on the way” has to offer.

    LANDING THE PLANE

    A powerful and celebratory wrap up the day’s events and toast to you, a Power In Pumps tradition.

  • ABOUT POWER IN PUMPS

    Power In Pumps is driven by its singular purpose to educate, impact and empower women who are all too often made to feel guilty about or to shy away from defining our lives, our relationships, careers, how much we want to make and how we make it. Established in 2017 as a one-day conference in Decatur, IL, today Power In Pumps fulfills this mission through conferences, workshops, event management and in the creating of purposeful conversation spaces, having served hundreds of individuals, groups and Fortune 500 companies since its inception. Simply put, it is what brings us joy and drives us to do what we do.

  • MIA JACKSON TYUS, MBA, CAPP - FOUNDER AND CHIEF ENJOYMENT OFFICER (CEO)

    She’s a dreamer, joyous space creator, philanthropist, former radio host and entrepreneur. Mia Jackson Tyus is also a lover of a good glass of wine, lists the Atlanta Housewives as her guilty pleasure and thinks there’s nothing better in life than having a hot cup of coffee in the morning while planning how to turn dreams to a reality. She has designed a life that she proudly says allows her to comfortably move “from the outhouse to the White House.”

    Today Mia serves as founder, leader and Chief Enjoyment Officer for Power in Pumps where she and her all-female squad work to educate, impact and empower women through conversations, workshops, conferences, virtual and in-person training opportunities.

    Mia is a firm believer in the old adages "we are what we think," none of us is as good as all of us" and "this ain't about us" all of which are woven into the fabric of her company and her life. For more than a decade she traveled the world implementing compliance and diversity initiatives for a Fortune 50 corporation and also hosted the popular "Keepin' It Real" morning radio show on 95.5 F.M. in Decatur Illinois. The show brought Mia's unique perspective on love, life and the issues facing the African American community to thousands of Central Illinois listeners each weekend.

    Mia holds an undergraduate degree in Organizational Leadership from Greenville College, a master’s degree in Business Administration from Millikin University and three Equal Employment Opportunity certifications from Cornell University. She is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority incorporated and is a graduate of The Flourishing Center's Applied Positive Psychology program.

    In her “down” time, this wife and mother of two can be found planning her next big event, trying to herd 12-year-old twins William and Symonne out of the door for school on time each day and strongly encouraging husband Billy to pick up his dirty socks from off of the bedroom floor.
