Courage Over Comfort: The Mindset of Fearless Leadership
Growth doesn’t happen when you play it safe. In this high-impact, hands-on session, Val Grubb helps entrepreneurs kick self-doubt to the curb, quiet that imposter voice, and make bold, confident decisions that move business forward. This isn’t a “sit back and listen” kind of session—attendees should bring a laptop or whatever they use to think and plan. You’ll work through practical exercises, sharpen your decision-making muscles, and build a customized game plan you can put to work the moment you leave the room. Expect to be challenged, inspired, and equipped with the tools to choose courage over comfort in every corner of your business. This is your invitation to stop waiting for the “right moment” and start leading like the powerhouse you already are.

Coaching Corners : Karen Walker
Facilitated by Karen Walker, Owner of Karen Walker Speaks
Coaching corners are small-group, expert-led sessions designed to meet you right where you are in your business.
You’ll choose the coaching corner that matters most to you whether that’s finances, well-being, QuickBooks, marketing or other essential business skills. You will work directly with a trusted expert in a collaborative, supportive setting. Come with your questions, your challenges and your goals. Leave with clarity, practical tools and next steps you can use immediately.
Closing Session : Valerie Grubb
Thrive Without Burning Out: Balancing Business Growth and Personal Well-Being
Running a business shouldn’t mean running yourself into the ground. In this refreshingly real closing session, Val Grubb shares a practical roadmap for scaling your business without losing your spark. You’ll learn how to set boundaries that actually hold, focus on what truly matters, and create rhythms that keep you productive and energized. With her signature straight-talk and warmth, Val helps you rethink what sustainable success really looks like—because building something great shouldn’t cost you your well-being. It’s the perfect send-off to a day devoted to fearless, flourishing leaders.
