About the Experience

Some endings are actually invitations.

There are moments in life when something changes: a layoff, a shift in identity, a season of burnout, a quiet realization that the life you built no longer fits the person you are becoming.

The Courage to Begin Workshop is a bold, experiential live event about life transitions and changes. Featuring speakers who draw on their lived experiences, guided exercises, powerful conversations, and intentional micro-shifts, YOU will gain a fresh perspective on your life. 

If you are standing at the edge of your next chapter, or just curious about change, we will show you how to move with purpose, direction, and confidence.

  • This is not just a workshop. It is a creative reset for who you are becoming.
  • Here, you will leave with more than motivation.
  • Here, you will leave with a meaningful micro-shift, a clearer sense of direction, and one intentional next step toward the life you are ready to create.

One shift in perspective, energy, or action can change everything.

The Chrysalis Moment
Is This You?

You know something has to change.

The question is how long you'll wait. This workshop is built for the moment you're ready to stop waiting.

✦

In Transition

Career change, layoff recovery, burnout, midlife questioning, or personal reinvention.

✦

Facing Disruption

Professionals unsure how to respond to AI disruption, industry change, or shifting pathways.

✦

Quietly Disconnected

Externally accomplished, internally disconnected from purpose, joy, or self-trust.

✦

Stuck in the Pattern

You know something needs to change but feel blocked by fear, shame, or old identity patterns.

✦

Ready to Feel It

You want a grounded live experience that blends emotional insight, practical tools, and embodied integration.

Fork in the Road
 THE Experience

You've outgrown the old path. Now you need a framework for the next one.


01
Opening: Damali opens the experience with a welcome, intention-setting,  and a grounding activity. 
02
Introduction: The Growth Edge. Damali addresses the tension we feel from "looking fine" on the outside while constantly worrying about the future on the inside. Here she speaks directly to the exhausting effects of living "in limbo," whether at the edge of a new chapter, due to a layoff, an industry shift, or internal burnout.
03
Keynote: Turning Setbacks Into Strategic Comebacks. Leila Weller shares the insights she gained after navigating an unexpected layoff and intentionally repositioning herself into a new industry. 
04
Activation:  The Courage to Begin Worksheet Activity. You will be guided through a reflective worksheet to identify what is calling you forward, what may be holding you back, and what courageous next step is available now. 
05
Guided Pause & Reset:  A Break with light refreshments will be served: a vegetable platter with beverages: coffee, tea and water.  Then a guided meditation on renewal and self connection to open the next keynote. 
06
Keynote: Small Choices, Big Changes. Sainoor guides participants through the power of small choices, self-trust, and how micro-shifts can begin to change the direction of what comes next. You will uncover the hidden impact of the small decisions we make and harness that insight to transform your future. 
07
Activation & Integration: Participants return to their worksheet to deepen their insights and identify one practical, grounded action they can take after the event. Sainoor leads a short guided integration experience to help you anchor the internal shift.
08
Q&A's and Closing Reflections.

Leila Weller

Vice President, Partner Marketing, Chase Payment Solutions

Drawing on her own experience of the anxiety of seeing multiple terminations, then one day to have it happen to her, Leila found herself in uncharted territory. After facing the setback head-on and moving purposefully to create her new future, Leila explores why reinvention is both forced and chosen and why the real advantage lies in how we respond. As technologies continue to reshape industries, the ability to navigate change, mentally and strategically, may become one of the most valuable professional skills. By consolidating her experiences and being in conversations with professionals who have faced similar challenges, Leila explores why the real advantage lies in how we respond.
