WHERE: Bluff City Grill: 424 East Broadway Alton, IL 62002
WHEN: Friday February 20, 2026 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST

Running a business should not feel like a nonstop sprint fueled by pressure and late nights. Yet many solopreneurs and small business owners stay stuck in overdrive while trying to keep their momentum going. In this session, leadership keynote speaker and peak performance business coach Kelli Risse reveals what keeps high achievers stuck in overwhelm and introduces the shift that helps you lead yourself and your business with more clarity, energy, and strength. You will learn the real difference between high achiever and peak performer thinking and how the four pillars of Succeed with Ease help you grow your business without burning yourself out.

Key Takeaways

• Recognize the high achiever habits that drain your energy and limit your growth.

• Identify the peak performer behaviors that strengthen your focus, energy, and self-leadership.

• Apply the four pillars of the Succeed with Ease framework to work with more clarity and consistency.
