The Unspoken Tradeoff at the Top

You’ve spent years building a reputation, rising through the ranks, leading with conviction. But for many senior leaders, there comes a point where the momentum of your career forces quiet questions into the spotlight:

  • What am I sacrificing to sustain this level of performance?

  • Do I really have to choose between being present at home and thriving at work?

  • Is it too late to course-correct—or can I shift without losing ground?

  • How have others stayed anchored at home and ambitious at work?

These aren’t signs of weakness—they’re the mark of thoughtful leadership. And this event is an invitation to explore them alongside others who’ve walked the same road—and still are.

We’ve brought together two exceptional voices—each of whom has built, led, and advised 9-figure companies—to share how they’ve navigated ambition, family, identity, and impact.

You’ll hear their unfiltered reflections and gain practical insight that most executive forums never surface.

What You’ll Walk Away With
âś” Strategies for sustaining career growth without regret
✔ Perspective from leaders who’ve built billion-dollar companies—and still made it home for dinner
✔ Reassurance that you’re not the only one navigating this tension
âś” A community of leaders who value success and significance

Who Should Be in the Room
This session is designed for:

  • C-suite executives across all functions (CMO, COO, CFO, CTO, CHRO, etc.)

  • Presidents and division leaders with significant P&L responsibility

  • C-Suite entrepreneurs

  • Board members thinking about what comes next
