We’re excited to invite you to Sisters in Service (SiS) — a free, informal discussion series created by and intended for female police leaders.

These are not typical webinars. There’s no keynote speaker or lecture — just real, honest conversations facilitated in a supportive space. Each session is an opportunity to connect with other women in policing, share experiences, and explore leadership challenges and successes together.

Whether you're just stepping into a leadership role or have years of experience, SiS offers a place to listen, learn, and be heard.

Open exclusively to CACP Members.

Showing Up as Yourself: Authenticity in Leadership

May 13, 2026 @12:30 - 13:30 EST

In professional spaces—especially those shaped by traditional expectations of authority—it can be tempting to keep parts of ourselves hidden. For women in policing and leadership, the pressure to “fit the mold” often means downplaying personality, softening identity, or adopting a style that doesn’t feel true. But authenticity matters: self-disclosure, when practiced thoughtfully, can build trust, strengthen relationships, and model confidence for others.

This session will explore what it means to bring your whole self into professional contexts without apology, and how authenticity can be a source of strength rather than risk.

Through reflection and shared experiences, participants will discuss:

• How to share your personality in ways that feel both professional and genuine
• The confidence to lead as a woman—without mimicking the styles of men
• The role of vulnerability and self-disclosure in building trust and credibility
• Practical strategies for showing up as yourself in leadership and service

Join us for a supportive dialogue on what it means to be true to yourself in the workplace—and how embracing authenticity can make leadership more powerful and sustainable.

Hosted by: Chief Superintendent Dana Earley, M.O.M., Ontario Provincial Police
