The Courage to Begin™ Workshop is a transformational event for people navigating career or life uncertainty.

Are you:

Tired of living in uncertainty and ready to take one grounded step toward a more aligned next chapter?

Standing at the edge of your next chapter, or just curious about change, and want to learn how to move with purpose, direction, and confidence?

Ready to move from uncertainty, dread, and disconnection to clarity, self-trust, and one courageous next step?

If yes, then this workshop is for you. This workshop offers a grounded path from feeling uncertain to taking one clear, courageous next step.

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.

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.

The Speakers:

• Damali Austin, Advanced Practice Nurse, Nurse Clinician, and Lived-Experience Expert: Founder of Evolved Becoming™ Coaching and Evolved Becoming Live Events. Damali knows what it feels like to look successful on paper while feeling uncertain and disconnected on the inside, feeling unsure of her next chapter. Personally, and from sitting with clients at their most vulnerable stages, she knows the tension and the weight of navigating the heavy cognitive load of uncertainty. By combining her clients' insights with her own lived experience and blending the arts and sciences of change psychology, Damali has successfully reinvented herself and is living in deep alignment with her purpose. Today, through her work as a Personal Change and Life Reinvention Strategist, she helps others to navigate career and life uncertainty, guiding them from confusion and disconnection to clarity, courage, and purposeful action.
• 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 AI and emerging 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.
• Sainoor Premji, Master Hypnotist, Global Traveller, and Montessori Educator: Sainoor is a dedicated mentor who guides individuals to unlock their full potential. As a world traveller, Sainoor draws on her global experiences to enrich her compassionate approach. Her latest book, "Echoes of Awareness", reflects her deep commitment to personal growth and healing. Here, Sainoor decodes the subconscious barriers to everyday decisions, guiding you through the power of intentional micro-shifts.

Intended Audience:

Individuals in a season of growth, career uncertainty, layoffs or job insecurity, midlife transition, burnout or disconnection. Those who seek an integrative, action-oriented experience to facilitate forward movement.

Our Core Belief

Our core belief is that: "Transformation begins with one honest moment, one meaningful shift, and one brave next step."

Our work combines psychological insight, practical tools, and a developmental framework to help you move into your next chapter with clarity, direction, purpose, and confidence.

Agenda

🕑: 11:00 AM - 11:15 AM
Opening
Host: Damali Austin

Info: Damali opens the experience with a welcome, intention-setting, and a grounding activity.

Introduction: The Growth Edge
Host: Damali

Info: Damali addresses the tension we feel from "looking fine" on the outside while constantly worrying about the future on the inside. Here she speaks to the growth edge, whether at the edge of a new career or life chapter, due to a layoff, an industry shift, or internal burnout.

Keynote: Turning Setbacks into Strategic Comebacks
Host: Leila Weller

Info: In 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. What surprised her most was not the disruption itself; instead, it was how differently people respond to the same event. While some immediately see the possibility, others experience shame, hesitation, or uncertainty.

Activation: The Courage to Begin Worksheet

Info: Participants will be guided through a reflective worksheet to identify what is calling them forward, what may be holding them back, and what courageous next step is available now.

Guided Pause & Reset

Info: A break with light refreshments will be served: a healthy vegetable platter, along with beverages such as coffee, tea, and water.

Keynote: Small Choices, Big Changes
Host: Sainoor Premji

Info: In this talk, 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. It’s the everyday, unnoticed decisions that lead to the major changes in our lives; they are the prelude to shifting us. Imagine uncovering the hidden impact of these decisions and harnessing that insight to transform your future. Here, we will explore how understanding these moments can lead to meaningful change.

Integration: Worksheet Revisit & Integration Exercise

Info: 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 participants anchor the internal shift.

Panel Q&A's Segment

Info: Participants have the opportunity to ask questions.

Closing Reflections
Host: Damali Austin

Info: Damali closes the workshop with final reflections and key takeaways to help participants implement their micro-shift forward.
