The Sustainable Success Summit

Many entrepreneurs believe burnout is the price of success. In reality, burnout often occurs when responsibility grows faster than personal capacity.

In this presentation, leadership coach Aaron Clark will challenge the idea that working harder is the answer to sustainable growth. Drawing from proven leadership and personal growth principles, Aaron will show how intentional growth increases your capacity to lead, make decisions, handle pressure, and navigate the demands of a growing business.

Attendees will learn why success creates new levels of responsibility, how to avoid the trap of constant overwhelm, and practical ways to expand their leadership capacity without sacrificing their health, relationships, or peace of mind.

If you want to build a business that supports your life instead of consuming it, this session will provide the mindset shifts and growth strategies needed to create long-term, sustainable success.

In this powerful and faith-filled keynote, Amanda Hietter shares her personal journey from trauma, addiction, unhealthy relationships, and survival mode to healing, restoration, and purpose through surrendering her life to God. Through authentic storytelling and practical life lessons, attendees will discover how unresolved wounds can shape their choices, why healing requires honesty and healthy environments, and how God can transform even the most painful experiences into a platform for impact. This inspiring presentation offers hope, encouragement, and actionable steps for anyone feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or exhausted from simply surviving. Participants will leave empowered to embrace healing, strengthen their faith, and begin walking confidently in the purpose God has for their lives.

Many entrepreneurs start their businesses seeking freedom, purpose, and flexibility, only to find themselves exhausted, overwhelmed, and carrying more responsibility than ever before.

In this presentation, Beth shares how overgiving, blurred boundaries, and tying our worth to productivity can quietly undermine both our well-being and our business success. Through her Rest to Rise framework, attendees will discover practical ways to embrace rest, establish healthier boundaries, reconnect with God's presence, and honor the stewardship of their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being while building a business that supports their life instead of consuming it.

Participants will leave with simple, actionable steps for creating greater peace, clarity, sustainability, and aligned success in both life and business.

You've probably heard that speaking is a great way to grow your business. Cool. But why does it feel like you're giving great talks… and then hearing absolutely nothing but crickets afterward?

The problem isn't your speaking. It's your system. In this session, Cari Brunton breaks down exactly how women business coaches are using speaking to book high-ticket clients consistently — without chasing leads, posting every day, or feeling gross and salesy at the end of their talks.

You'll walk away with a clear path from talk to booked call, and a simple strategy you can actually use — starting this week.

If you're ready to stop giving great talks to quiet rooms — this one's for you.

One of the most expensive phrases in leadership is:

"We already dealt with that."

Because sometimes we did. And sometimes we only thought we did.

Have you ever solved a problem, made a decision, implemented a change, or addressed a concern, only to find some version of it showing up again later?

What if the return isn't the problem?

What if it's information?

In this thought-provoking session, Carla J. Lewis explores why issues, concerns, stakeholder reactions, consequences, and challenges sometimes refuse to stay settled—and why the first return may be one of the most valuable leadership moments.

You'll discover what recurring situations may be trying to reveal, how assumptions can quietly shape outcomes, and why expanding your field of view often leads to better questions, better decisions, and more durable results.

Stop asking, "Why is this back?" and start asking, "What is it trying to show us?"

Most small business owners work harder than their businesses—not for lack of effort, but for a lack of systems and clarity. In this session, Carrie identifies the three critical areas where your business is quietly leaking time and energy. You’ll leave with a clear roadmap for optimizing your business using tech and finally freeing yourself to lead sustainably from a place of vision and purpose.

What you will Learn:

1. The Connection System: The automation architecture that ensures no relationship is ever dropped.
2. The Intelligence System: How to identify the "North Star" metrics in your business to eliminate decision fatigue.
3. The Presence System: The framework for training a personalized AI to handle high-level tasks in your unique voice.

Too many women are taught that money and meaning sit on opposite sides: that you either build wealth or stay faithful to your calling.

In Purposeful Profits, Claire Afua Jørgensen dismantles that false divide. Drawing on her work as a Transformation Director, her neuroscience research, and her own road through loss and reinvention, she shows women that purpose and profit are not competing forces but partners. She unpacks why high-functioning women over-give, under-charge, and shrink their impact, and what it takes in identity, wiring, and faith to stop surviving and start building from wholeness.

This is not hustle or hype, but a grounded path to honoring your calling and being well compensated for it.

What you'll walk away with:

• Why purpose and profit belong together
• The neuroscience behind over-functioning and under-earning
• The identity shifts from survival to leadership
• Permission to build wealth without abandoning faith or self

You don't have a time problem. Nor a strategy problem. You have a decision problem.

Every time you say yes out of pressure, guilt, or expectation, you dilute your focus, drain your energy, and delay your results.

In this session, Clestine Herbert will walk you through the exact patterns that keep high-capacity leaders stuck in overcommitment and underperformance.

You will learn how to make clear, confident decisions without second-guessing, how to say no without damaging relationships, and how to align your time with what actually moves your business forward.

If your calendar is full but your results don't reflect it, this session will show you exactly why and what to do instead.

Create space for them to give themselves permission to say yes. Strangers become Super Fans. Super Fans become Clients. You can’t close a stranger. You close a Super Fan.

Most people practice their pitch. Nobody practices knowing them. I’m going to change that today.

I’m teaching you the Sales Dance… the system that turns Strangers into Super Fans into Clients. We play a live game where you feel exactly what it takes to have someone genuinely want to know what you do. And then I show you how AI does the heavy lifting for every person you meet. Every person you want to meet.

Many entrepreneurs believe overwhelm is simply part of success. The reality is that most overwhelm is not a time management problem, it's a systems design problem.

In this practical and empowering session, Diana Grace James-Bandong will reveal the hidden causes of founder overwhelm and show business owners how to create more freedom without sacrificing growth. Attendees will learn how to identify time-draining activities, reduce decision fatigue, eliminate founder dependency, and implement simple systems that improve efficiency and scalability.

Through real-world examples and actionable strategies, participants will discover how to reclaim valuable hours each week, build stronger operational foundations, and create a business that can grow without constantly demanding more of them.

This session is ideal for entrepreneurs, coaches, consultants, agency owners, and business leaders seeking sustainable success and greater work-life balance.

In a world that celebrates hustle, comparison, and performance, many successful women still feel disconnected from the life and leadership they were truly created for. In this powerful and faith-centered talk, Donna Londot introduces women to the concept of their God-given genius — the unique way they were designed to think, lead, create, and influence.

Drawing from over 40 years of entrepreneurship, leadership, and mentoring, Donna shares how many women unknowingly build lives around expectations, pressure, and survival instead of alignment and purpose. Through practical insight, personal stories, and biblical encouragement, she helps women recognize the signs of misalignment and begin understanding the strengths, wiring, and calling already placed within them.

This talk is not about becoming someone else. It is about discovering who God already created you to be so you can lead with greater clarity, confidence, peace, and impact in your next season of life and business.

• Discover the 5 little-known action stoppers that may be silently sabotaging your life and business
• Learn why unfinished tasks keep showing up on your to-do list again and again
• Identify the hidden patterns keeping you stuck, overwhelmed, and spinning your wheels
• Understand what’s fueling procrastination around the actions that actually grow your business
• Find out what will turn it all around for you so you can go from burned out to badass in business

More effort isn't the answer — alignment is. In this talk, Dr. Anastasia Chopelas bridges quantum physics and energy healing to explain why so many driven women feel chronically exhausted despite doing everything right. When your thoughts, words, feelings, and actions pull in different directions, no strategy will carry you far. Dr. Chopelas breaks down the science behind energy coherence and offers practical tools to bring your inner world into sync with your outer goals. Because true sustainable success isn't built on willpower — it's built on alignment. Walk away with a grounded, intelligent framework that honors both your logic and your intuition, and finally understand why alignment isn't a spiritual luxury — it's the foundation everything else is built on.

You understand what mindset is, and you've probably already paid for workshops or coaching on how to change it. Yet, in as little as 3 days you find yourself back at the beginning, having the same thoughts (mindset) you know are holding you back AND not the truth you desire.

There is nothing wrong with you. You are not weak or lazy. And you certainly aren't spinning your wheels for nothing. The truth is, it's not about your mindset - it's about your lack of understanding in how the brain works so you can create MindFlow.

Today you'll learn how to create the sustainable shifts that bring the success you deserve. The success that has been waiting for you.

Most people chase abundance.

I teach the science of creating it.

Discover how to retrain your brain and nervous system for greater confidence, resilience, opportunity, and prosperity, regardless of your circumstances.

Called, Not Consumed: How Purpose-Driven Entrepreneurs Can Serve Without Burning Out

Purpose-driven entrepreneurs often begin their work from a place of passion, service, and deep care. But without clear boundaries and sustainable rhythms, that service can quietly become overgiving, exhaustion, resentment, and guilt around rest.

In this session, Erin Baker Edgar will help attendees recognize when meaningful work has crossed into self-abandonment. Attendees will learn how to notice the warning signs of burnout, protect their energy, and create boundaries that support sustainable service.

They will leave with a simple reflection practice to help them identify where they are giving from love, where they are giving from fear, and what boundary would help them serve with more peace and clarity.

The problem today is we stop our health journey too early thinking diagnosis and treatment are the end. We've normalized relief as the finish line, when for many its only the first step. The meaning of optimized health isn't being symptom-free or pegging out on energy all day long. It's knowing all the invisible factors that lead up to symptoms are being handled. We need a clear path to True Holistic Healing. Apply what I did to reverse all 30 of my chronic illnesses in this presentation.

Success becomes unsustainable when we rely solely on circumstances to determine our strength, confidence, and peace of mind. In this powerful session, Janet Eckles shares how losing her sight at age 31, enduring the murder of her son, and facing seemingly impossible setbacks taught her a profound truth: resilience isn't reserved for crises—it's a daily practice that fuels sustainable success.

Attendees will discover practical strategies to build "Every-Day Resilience," manage adversity without burnout, maintain purpose during uncertainty, and lead with strength even when challenges arise. Through compelling storytelling and actionable insights, Janet will help entrepreneurs shift from merely surviving pressure to developing the inner resilience needed to thrive in business and life. Participants will leave equipped to create success that lasts because it is built on strength from within rather than circumstances around them.

Most presentations don’t fail because the information is bad. They fail because the audience never fully connects to the message.

In this high-impact session, Jeff Brandeis reveals why audiences disengage within minutes and what top communicators do differently to hold attention, create emotional connection, and inspire action.

Attendees will learn practical strategies to transform presentations, webinars, meetings, and sales conversations into experiences that drive engagement, trust, and measurable results.

Participants will discover:

• The biggest attention mistakes presenters make
• How to structure presentations for influence, not information overload
• Why engagement drives conversion and decision-making
• Techniques to keep audiences mentally present
• How to create presentations people remember and respond to

Ideal for leaders, sales professionals, entrepreneurs, and anyone who needs their message to create real impact.

This presentation teaches you how to master your mindset through radical awareness, emotional agility, and aligned action. You’ll learn how to identify the hidden stress patterns and mental saboteurs that silently drain your energy. Then, you’ll rewrite the narrative—turning self-doubt into confidence and clarity. Finally, you’ll learn how to live in alignment with your core truth, so you stop reacting to stress and start rising with purpose.

If you’re ready to break free from the cycle of overwhelm, this is your invitation to become truly unstoppable.

Many entrepreneurs build successful businesses while quietly sacrificing their peace, relationships, and well-being. The problem is not a lack of ambition. The problem is leading from a dysregulated state rather than with emotional intelligence.

In this inspiring and practical presentation, Karen Hall shares how emotionally intelligent leaders create sustainable success by building trust, regulating their nervous systems, and fostering psychological safety in their businesses and relationships.

Drawing from neuroscience, leadership research, and more than four decades of studying human behavior, Karen reveals why trust is the currency of leadership and how escalated emotions impact decision-making, communication, creativity, and performance.

Attendees will learn simple strategies to reduce overwhelm, strengthen relationships, regulate their nervous system, and lead with greater clarity and resilience.

Participants will leave with practical tools to increase their emotional intelligence to build their business and relationships, creating success that is profitable, sustainable, and deeply aligned with what matters most.

Simple Systems, Lasting Success: From Chaos to Clarity explores how small, sustainable systems can turn overwhelm into order and create more calm, consistency, and momentum in business. LeAnn Lyon shares how simple shifts can free up time, reduce stress, and help you build success that lasts.

Entrepreneurship can quietly become emotionally, mentally, and physically draining when business owners constantly operate in survival mode. In this presentation, Lola shares practical insights on how entrepreneurs can protect their energy while still growing and managing a business successfully.

The session explores the hidden ways burnout affects decision-making, creativity, communication, productivity, and business growth, especially for entrepreneurs balancing multiple responsibilities. Attendees will learn simple but effective ways to create healthier work rhythms, manage mental overload, set boundaries, reduce unnecessary pressure, and build a business without constantly running on exhaustion.

This presentation is designed to help entrepreneurs work with more clarity, sustainability, and peace while maintaining growth and ambition.

Your inner voice isn’t just guidance—it’s a powerful asset that shapes your income and impact. Learn how to recognize, trust, and refine your intuition so it becomes a reliable decision-making tool in your work or business. We’ll explore how aligning with your intuitive strengths opens new opportunities, attracts Ideal clients, and increases confidence in what you offer. This is a grounded, practical approach to turning intuition into real-world results.

Maggie's talk is interactive and experiential and can include readings for the some participants as time allows!

The pricing. The bottleneck. The burnout.

Here's what almost no one will tell you: those aren't the problem.

They're symptoms of something deeper, something you've never been asked to look at. And every month you spend fixing the symptom makes the real thing harder to see.

In this session, Matthew Sayles unpacks why capable founders keep solving the wrong problem, shares the client conversation that changed how he works, and gives you the single question that locates what's actually holding your business down.

Many entrepreneurs start their businesses seeking freedom and fulfillment, only to find themselves overwhelmed by long hours, constant demands, and feeling trapped in day-to-day operations. In this session, Mosongo Moukwa shares practical strategies to uncover hidden revenue opportunities, reclaim valuable time, and transition from operator to strategic leader. Attendees will learn how sustainable growth comes from improving profitability, strengthening focus, and building a business that supports both personal well-being and long-term success. They will leave with actionable insights to reduce overwhelm, lead with confidence, and create a business aligned with their values, goals, and legacy.

A lot of people aren’t struggling because they lack strategy — they’re struggling because they’re building in a way that doesn’t actually match who they are.

So even when things are working, it still feels like pressure, pushing, and constantly trying to keep everything going.

This talk explores the gap between success & internal alignment, and why so many people are realizing that hustle culture is no longer sustainable long-term.

We’ll look at what happens when life, leadership, and business are built from external pressure instead of internal alignment, and how that disconnect quietly creates overwhelm and exhaustion.

This is about redefining success in a way that actually fits your life — where what you create becomes an extension of who you are, instead of something you constantly have to force, manage, or keep alive.

Because sustainable success doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from building in alignment with who you are.

Sustainable Systems, Strategy, and Alignment for Long-Term Success

Success should not cost you your peace, health, relationships, or the joy that inspired your vision in the first place.

In this powerful and practical session, international speaker and Kingdom Business Architect™ Nikki Cruise shares why sustainable success is not built through hustle alone, but through intentional structure, aligned strategy, and systems that support both growth and well-being.

You’ll discover how pressure and overextension silently drain creativity, clarity, and momentum, and why many entrepreneurs unknowingly build businesses that depend on exhaustion to survive.

Nikki will explore practical shifts that help leaders create healthier, more sustainable businesses through aligned systems, boundaries, and intentional growth strategies that protect both performance and personal well-being.

Because success that costs your joy is simply too expensive.

— Nikki Cruise, Host of the Sustainable Success Summit

Success with Purpose is an uplifting and thought‑provoking presentation for entrepreneurs who feel successful on paper but quietly drained, disconnected, or unfulfilled. In a world that celebrates hustle and constant achievement, this session invites leaders to pause and reconnect with the deeper “why” behind their work.

Through personal storytelling, practical reflection, and encouraging insight, Trish offers a fresh approach to success, one rooted in alignment, authenticity, inner clarity, and sustainable growth. Instead of chasing paths that exhaust them, attendees are encouraged to build from their God‑given strengths, values, and true purpose.

Entrepreneurs will leave inspired to pursue success that not only produces results, but also creates peace, fulfillment, and lasting impact.

In today’s rapidly changing world, technology and artificial intelligence are transforming how people work, communicate, and build businesses. Yet as automation increases, the value of human connection, leadership, collaboration, and purpose is becoming more important than ever. “The New Economy Is Human” explores how entrepreneurs, professionals, and communities can adapt, grow, and create meaningful opportunities in 2026 by combining innovation with authentic relationships, personal branding, communication, and purpose-driven leadership. This presentation delivers practical insights into workforce trends, AI awareness, entrepreneurship, networking, and the power of building human-centered ecosystems in a fast-moving digital economy.

Many clinicians, coaches, and other service providers build practices that look successful on paper: full caseload, steady referrals, high demand, and no breathing room. But a full calendar does not always equal a stable business, and too many solo and group practice owners find themselves exhausted, under-leveraged, and financially vulnerable despite doing excellent clinical work. Drawing from her own experience scaling a small group practice to million-dollar revenue with multi-six-figure profits, building diverse revenue streams, and generating an additional $41K beyond one-to-one sessions in just 11 weeks during a cash flow crunch, Sarah introduces the Practice Profits Ecosystem framework to help owners identify where their current model is leaking time, energy, and revenue and begin building a more sustainable path beyond the client hour.

Most business owners don’t have a marketing problem, a motivation problem, or even a sales problem. They have a business that was never fully built to be profitable.

In this eye-opening talk, Profit Growth Strategist Sharon Galluzzo reveals the three overlooked essentials that determine whether a business thrives or struggles—regardless of how hard the owner is working.

Through real-world insight and a powerful diagnostic lens, Sharon helps audiences identify where their business is breaking down, why more effort isn’t translating into consistent profit, and what’s actually standing in the way of sustainable growth.

Attendees will walk away with a clear understanding of what’s working, what’s not, and where to focus next—so they can stop guessing, start building with intention, and finally create a business that delivers consistent results.

This session helps entrepreneurs and coaches identify and rewrite the unconscious stories that are limiting their success. Through powerful mindset shifts and practical tools, attendees learn how to break through income ceilings, eliminate self-sabotage, and create sustainable business and life results.

Personal branding on LinkedIn is the strategic process of shaping how you are perceived in your industry through consistent visibility, positioning, and communication. It goes beyond simply having a profile or posting occasionally; it is about deliberately building a narrative around your expertise, values, and unique point of view.

When done right, personal branding turns your LinkedIn presence into a trust-building engine. Every post, comment, and interaction becomes a reflection of your credibility and thought leadership. It helps people understand not just what you do, but why you do it and what you stand for.

In today’s digital-first world, attention is limited, but trust is powerful. A strong personal brand ensures that when opportunities arise- clients, partnerships, speaking engagements, or collaborations—you are already top of mind. Ultimately, LinkedIn personal branding is about consistency, clarity, and authenticity working together to position you as a recognizable authority in your space.

Nobody handed you a roadmap when you started. So you figured it out as you went — and the gaps you didn't know existed started quietly costing you time, money, and momentum.

Most solopreneurs don't stall because their idea is bad. They stall because they're making foundational decisions alone, without a clear reference point — and without anyone who's already walked that terrain.

Vicki James, founder of Thrive Hive, shares real stories and hard-won lessons from a 21-step roadmap built from watching solopreneurs get stuck in the same places — and get unstuck when they stopped going it alone.

You'll leave knowing where your gaps are, what to address first, and what becomes possible when you have the right support at the right time.

Clarity and clients, sooner. That's what this session is about.
