Featured speakers

Gina Glover presents

Focus on the 5th Question:
Moving Conversations to Connections

Gina Glover is a professional speaker motivating audiences to think differently about networking and career development. She is a graduate of Ferris State University (Go Bulldogs!) and has been in northeast Wisconsin since 1996. In addition to speaking and coaching, she’s actively writing her first book and on a quest to run a race in every state - state #28 was North Dakota this past June. Gina delivered a TEDx talk in Oshkosh, Wisconsin in November 2023 and continues working to connect business professionals to the skills needed for building better relationships, communicating with confidence and achieving their personal best.



Lisa Brouwer presents

Daring Leadership, Courageous Living

Lisa Brouwer spent 20 years in a corporate, commission-based sales and leadership position where she was highly successful. But on the inside, Lisa wrestled with feeling enough despite her achievements, carried the weight of being a guilty mom and shared heremotional leftovers with the people who deserved her best. During an ugly-cry breakdown on her way to work one morning, Lisa had an epiphany ... her stark, overworked, overwhelmed reality did not match the vision she had for her life. It took Lisa five long years to leave her job and step into something that aligned with the bigger, bolder plan for her life. And it was through courageously doing deep inner work that she discovered she was worth being brave with her life. 



Returning in 2025:

Professional Panel
