  • Grow Your Assets – Why growth is essential to your nest egg

    Thomas Yeung, Founder, Jurnex

    TOPIC CATEGORY: Financial

    In this talk, I cover the importance of growing your assets safely and responsibly. Everyone knows to save for retirement. But often, even affluent individuals and families aren’t convinced they’re on the right track. That’s because most financial advice focuses on playing defense. But when it comes to investing, a good offense is a FAR better choice. MORE >

    These days, it's not enough to buy "safe" low-yielding investments or ETFs and hope for the best. That's because, with people living longer and pensions getting cut, you run the risk of outliving your savings.

    We'll cover the broad strokes of what it means to diversify and invest for growth. This talk will be suitable for novice investors and advanced alike, since we'll be covering concepts that anyone can learn.

    Tonya Hubbard, Transformational Life Coach, Awaken and Align with Tonya

    TOPIC CATEGORY: Self Improvement

    There was a time in my life when I was doing all the "right" things, checking boxes, hustling hard, showing up for everyone, but inside, I was exhausted. I had lost touch with my voice, my peace, and my joy. Like so many others, I was striving to prove my worth in a world that never seemed satisfied, but everything changed when I finally got quiet enough to listen, not to the noise of expectations, but to the quiet wisdom within. MORE >

    In this powerful and soul-stirring talk, I share how I moved from burnout to balance, from anxiety to alignment, and how you can do the same. This is not about doing more or fixing yourself. It is about remembering who you are, reclaiming your energy, and trusting that what is meant for you flows with ease and not force. Perfect for professionals, caregivers, and seekers who feel spiritually or emotionally depleted, this talk offers practical tools, soulful insights, and an invitation to come home to yourself. Audiences leave not just inspired but empowered to stop striving and start living from a place of deep inner flow.

  • From Manager to Changemaker: Leading Change When You’re Not in Charge

    Adriano Pianesi, MBA, ACC, Founder and CEO, ParticipAction Consulting, Inc.

    TOPIC CATEGORY: Business

    Most managers are asked to deliver transformation—but without the authority, clarity, or control to make it happen. From Manager to Changemaker is a practical leadership experience designed to help them do exactly that. MORE >

    Developed and led by Adriano Pianesi, this program equips mid-level and emerging leaders with the mindset and tools to create impact from wherever they stand. Drawing on principles of adaptive leadership, Liberating Structures, and systems thinking, participants learn how to mobilize people, build trust, and move real work forward—without waiting for top-down approval.

    The program reframes leadership as an act of exploration rather than command. Through interactive workshops, peer coaching, and field-based experiments, managers learn how to:

    - Diagnose what’s really blocking progress in their teams or organizations.
    - Build influence across silos and engage stakeholders with different priorities.
    - Design small, low-risk experiments that demonstrate results and build credibility.
    - Shift from managing tasks to mobilizing energy—turning frustration into forward motion.

    Each participant leaves with a personalized 30-day action plan, ready to test in their own workplace, and a community of peers committed to supporting one another’s experiments.

    Whether you lead a team of five or influence a network of hundreds, From Manager to Changemaker offers a proven path to lead with courage, clarity, and creativity—even when you’re not in charge.
