Life and work will shake you, sometimes gently, sometimes like a jolt. Those moments test who you are and push you to decide: should you stay the course or shift direction?

In this keynote, Julie Ruben Rodney guides leaders and professionals to pause, reflect, and explore a window into understanding themselves, their fears, desires, aspirations, and untapped potential. Attendees will discover how lessons from life and work intersect to shape authentic leadership and personal purpose. This keynote provides a structured, curious, and methodical approach to exploring new directions before fully committing, ensuring that change leads to growth rather than a misstep.

After participating in this session, attendees will be able to:

• The ability to distinguish a true defining moment from everyday noise.
• A framework to reflect on yourself, your choices, and the potential for growth and adaptation.
• Techniques to test-drive new directions in low-risk ways before making major shifts.
• Strategies to communicate your choices clearly and inspire momentum for yourself
