Upcoming Guest Speakers

SEPTEMBER

Hannah Holt - Become the Person You Turn to First

A session about building the relationship you have with yourself—because it shapes every decision you make.

We've spent our lives being taught to look outside ourselves for direction without ever being taught how to check in with ourselves.

Before making a decision, we're more likely to ask ChatGPT or the people around us than we are to pause and ask ourselves what we need. We've never had more access to information, yet many people feel more disconnected from themselves than ever.

Hannah will explore why that happens and what changes when we begin including ourselves in the conversation.

Most talks leave people with ideas. This talk leaves people with four words they'll remember when it matters most:

Pause. Ask. Listen. Choose.

Rather than simply hearing the message, you'll experience what's possible when you become the person you turn to first, leaving with a relationship-building framework you can return to long after the event.

You'll leave with:

  • An understanding of why so many of us look outside ourselves for direction instead of checking in with ourselves.

  • A new way to become the person you turn to first.

  • A simple framework to help you pause, ask, listen and choose, so the decisions you make are led by you.

OCTOBER

Jen Corcoran - LinkedIn Strategist

PRESENCE — Position your profile to attract the right clients
ACTION — Know who to connect with and when
CONNECT — Build real relationships that lead to opportunities

NOVEMBER

Sue Richards - The Time Lie: Why Time Management Isn’t the Answer to Getting More Done

Sue is a business mentor, podcast host, public speaker, and soon to be published author and retreat host. She helps passion‑led service providers go from overwhelmed, overthinking, and stuck in scattered effort to focused, consistent action that so that they can create the income and impact that they desire without burning out. 

In this thought provoking session, Sue challenges one of the most widely accepted beliefs in business: that better time management is the key to getting more done. Drawing on her work with ambitious women in business, she explores why the real issue is not time, but energy, cognitive load, and capacity.
