About Leadership Lab

Leadership Lab is a collaborative leadership series presented by the Claremont Chamber of Commerce.
Designed for business owners, executives, nonprofit leaders, entrepreneurs, and emerging leaders, Leadership Lab brings together accomplished leaders to share practical lessons, real-world experiences, and leadership insights that participants can immediately apply in their own organizations.
 
Each session is intentionally interactive, blending inspiring conversations with thoughtful reflection and peer learning.
 
August Program Theme:  Leading Through Resilience
Every leader experiences moments that test their resolve.
 
Unexpected change. Difficult decisions. Growth that stretches your capacity. Seasons when the future feels uncertain.
 
Resilience isn't simply about bouncing back. It's about leading with courage, staying grounded in your values, and helping others move forward—even when the path ahead isn't completely clear.
 
Join us for an intimate Leadership Lab conversation with Betty Porto, Co-Owner of Porto's Bakery & Café, as she shares lessons learned from helping lead one of Southern California's most beloved family businesses while honoring its legacy, navigating growth, and leading through change.
 
Following Betty's remarks, she will join a faculty member from the Drucker School of Management for a live conversation exploring leadership, resilience, organizational culture, and the timeless principles of effective leadership.
