Perimenopause and menopause are universal experiences for women, yet they remain widely misunderstood, under-discussed, and often overlooked in the workplace. At TEMPO’s May Program Meeting, we’re creating space for an honest, informed, and empowering conversation that goes far beyond the basics.

Join us for a dynamic panel featuring:

• Dr. Alyson Lippman, Midlife Midwife MKE, a nationally board-certified menopause provider and certified nurse midwife with nearly two decades of experience in women’s health.
• Dr. Francesca Lynd, Integrative Menopause MD, who brings a unique ability to translate cutting-edge research into practical, actionable care.
• Brook Mayborne, who will offer an HR perspective on the conversation, sharing insights on workplace benefits, policies, and support systems informed by her years of experience in this space.

The conversation will be thoughtfully moderated by TEMPO member Deanne Phillips, Programming Committee Vice Chair, who will bring both a leadership perspective and personal insight, helping to ground the discussion in real, lived experience.

Together, our panelists will challenge common myths, dispel misconceptions, and shed light on the real impact of perimenopause and menopause, particularly for women in leadership. This is not a “Menopause 101” session. Instead, it’s a candid exploration of how this life stage intersects with career growth, leadership presence, well-being, and workplace dynamics.

Designed for women at every stage of their careers, this session will offer valuable insights whether you are personally navigating these changes now or want to better support colleagues, team members, and future leaders.

With the addition of an HR and workplace lens, attendees will gain tangible strategies to advocate for more supportive, informed, and inclusive environments. From policy considerations to cultural shifts, you’ll leave with practical tools to help normalize the conversation and drive meaningful change within your organization.

At TEMPO, we believe this is a real-life topic that impacts women leaders across industries, and one that deserves to be addressed openly, thoughtfully, and collectively. Join us as we bring Milwaukee’s leaders together for a conversation that informs, empowers, and moves us forward.
