A message from Vicki James

Tell us about your journey and your expertise. We're looking for speakers with real, lived experience — not just theory — in one (or more) of these areas: leaving corporate and knowing when it's time, the practical first steps of starting a business, or building something sustainable long-term (clients, systems, and staying power).

Let us know which day's theme fits you best, what you'd want to speak on, and a bit about your own story getting here. Selected speakers will be notified directly with next steps.

Built to Thrive: Life After Corporate is a 3-day live virtual summit for people standing at the edge of a decision — stay in corporate, or finally build the thing they keep thinking about. Or they've already jumped, and they're realizing nobody handed them a map for what comes next.

We're bringing together speakers who've actually lived this transition — corporate exits, identity shifts, client acquisition, the unglamorous work of building something real — across three focused days: Deciding to Take the Leap (Day 1), Getting Started (Day 2), and Building a Sustainable Business (Day 3).

If you've built a life and business after leaving corporate — or helped others do it — this is a stage built for exactly that story. October 13–15, live virtual, reaching an audience actively looking for their next step.

What You Get as a Speaker

  • Your session video — yours to keep and use however you'd like, it's your content, your IP.
  • The attendee roster from your session, so you can follow up directly with the people you connected with.
  • A curated, engaged audience of solopreneurs and corporate transitioners — quality over headcount.

What We're Asking For

  • A 25-minute session (plus a 5-minute buffer) that fits your topic on one of our three days.
  • Help spreading the word — please target 25 registrations. You're speaking to help the collective, and a strong turnout is part of what makes that worth everyone's time.

Details are still coming together as we build this out, but these two things are locked in: your video is yours, and you'll get the roster.
