You’re Not Underqualified — You’re Under-Positioned !
Alyssa Bailey Professional Career Coach

If you’re a high-performing professional who looks successful on paper — the role, the pay, the team, the experience — but feels a quiet sense of misalignment, this session is for you.

Many mid-career professionals reach a point where something feels off, yet walking away feels irresponsible, ungrateful, or risky. In this talk, Alyssa Bailey explores why misalignment often shows up after success, how ignoring it erodes confidence over time, and why clarity — not courage — is the missing piece most professionals need before taking their next step.

Alyssa will show how clarity creates confidence and how confident positioning opens doors.

This session attendees will walk away with:

  • How to recognize the early signs of career misalignment (before burnout sets in)

  • A clarity framework to identify what’s no longer working and what does fit now

  • How to position themselves confidently for their next move without starting over or second-guessing their experience

Carla Coates Leadership and Business Coach

Leadership Requires Limits: The Power of No is a practical leadership talk for leaders and business owners who are tired of overextending themselves.

Beyond the Burnout Crisis
Elaine Beattie Beyond the Burnout Crisis

Burnout is no longer an individual problem—it’s a leadership challenge. High-performing leaders across industries are carrying relentless pressure, emotional labor, and constant change while being expected to lead well and stay resilient. Many are succeeding on paper while quietly running on empty.

In Beyond the Burnout Crisis, Elaine Robinson Beattie draws on more than three decades of executive leadership experience to offer a practical, human-centered response to burnout. Using her S.E.E.A.T.™ framework—Self-Awareness, Emotional Intelligence, Education, Accountability, and Transformation—Elaine helps leaders recognize burnout as a signal for change, not a personal failure.

Through real-world stories, research-based insight, and actionable tools, participants will learn how to lead with clarity, create healthier team cultures, and make decisions that support both performance and well-being. This session invites leaders to move beyond survival and into sustainable, wise leadership that lasts.
