The Career Shift They Don’t Talk About: What Fear Really Means (and How to Use It)
Amanda Steadman Hypnotherapist & Founder of Align You

I’ve spent over 20 years coaching leaders through meaningful transitions. Not just new roles or industries, but full shifts in identity, fulfillment, and how they lead — from the inside out.

Today, I want to help you name and reclaim the part of you that knows it’s time for a shift… but may be waiting for permission.

The Inner Economy: Mental & Emotional Fitness in a World on the Brink
Rachael Hudson Leadership Mindset, Empowerment & Resilience Coach

The Inner Economy: Mental & Emotional Fitness in a World on the Brink We’re not just facing financial or environmental collapse - we’re facing a human one. Despite the language of resilience, many are privately fraying at the seams. Less about burnout, more a deeper erosion of clarity, self-leadership, and psychological stamina. In this provocative, deeply human talk, mindset strategist Rachael Hudson reframes modern resilience as an inner economy - a capacity we must learn to source, build, and protect. Drawing from 25+ years on the frontline of human challenge, Rachael reveals three essential foundations for recession-proofing the self: Conscious Responsibility, Energetic Resilience, and Narrative Sovereignty. It's not therapy. Nor self-help. It’s a recalibration lab for anyone under pressure - an invitation to lead yourself from the inside out, even when the world gets loud. In reclaiming our inner economy, we don’t just survive: we change possibilities for everyone we lead.

From Scrubs to CEO: Reinventing Yourself with Purpose, Confidence & Clarity
Sarah Dawkins Holistic Health Coach

This presentation covers my own journey of career change and lessons learnt. 

Becoming misaligned with the system, spiralling into a dark depression and the knowing that something had to change.

Key factors: burnout, identity loss, fear of the unknown, imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and societal pressure to "stay in your lane."

This all led to an undertaking of inner work e.g., self-reflection, healing, mindset shifts to aligning with my deeper values and passions.

This turned into a coming home to my authentic self, moving from nurse into entrepreneur then on to holistic health coach, leading to to a personal wellness fuelling professional success.

Key strategies for anyone considering a career change:

  • Trust your inner knowing.
  • Start before you feel ready.
  • Build a support network.
  • Reframe your experience as an asset, not a limitation.
