In this powerful, story-driven session, Executive Speaker Coach Samantha Kris shares her journey of reinventing her life and business, from leaving behind a version of success that no longer aligned to building a new chapter in the U.S. market. Along the way, she reveals what reinvention actually looks like behind the scenes and how to navigate the uncertainty that comes with it.
Following her story will be a candid conversation with Rob Rudy, where they will explore:
- Why expanding into new markets requires an evolution of identity, not just strategy
- How strategic relationships can accelerate your next level
- What it feels like to enter a new arena
- Whether you’re refining your message, exploring new markets, or feeling the pull toward something more, this session will help you move forward with clarity, alignment, and confidence.
- Because the next level of your speaking business… requires the next version of you.
