Join us on Saturday, April 26 from 2–4 PM for a special event with Maggie DeCan, author of "Humbled on Purpose," as she sits down in conversation with Poe & Company’s own Stacie to discuss purpose-driven leadership, career transformation, and the power of embracing your story.

In "Humbled on Purpose," Maggie shares her bold decision to leave a million-dollar corporate role to lead the Children’s Development Academy—and the lessons she learned along the way. From overcoming personal tragedy to navigating a male-dominated workplace, Maggie offers readers a new framework for leadership: one that’s grounded in honesty, vulnerability, and what she calls "scar-based leadership."

Following the conversation, Maggie will sign copies of her book and chat with guests.
