Connected Leaders Academy Leadership starts with the body. If you can’t command your vessel (body), your habits, your discipline, your energy then you’re not leading… you’re leaking.

This isn’t a motivational moment. It’s a lifestyle shift. It’s a reminder that your body holds the rhythm, the power, and the clarity you’ve been searching for. You’ll walk away knowing exactly how to lead yourself first. To effectively lead the mission you were built for. No more guessing. No more starting over.

Connected Leaders Academy The Intra-preneurship Map to Freedom Most people believe freedom only comes from striking out on your own as an entrepreneur. But the truth is, your journey can start right where you are, inside an organization. Intra-preneurship is the art of applying entrepreneurial thinking as an employee: spotting opportunities, innovating solutions, and driving growth as if you owned the business yourself. In this talk, we’ll explore how you can leverage entrepreneurial skills, such as creativity, problem solving, leadership, and opportunity recognition, to create new value within your company. By taking ownership of projects, identifying untapped revenue streams, and innovating processes, you can generate more money-making opportunities both for the business and for yourself. Along the way, you sharpen the exact same muscles that world-class entrepreneurs rely on: resilience, adaptability, negotiation, and execution. Practicing entrepreneurship inside the safety of an organization prepares you to eventually launch your own venture with confidence and momentum. This session will give you a roadmap for: Turning your job into a launchpad for entrepreneurial skill-building. Recognizing and pitching intrapreneurial opportunities that benefit both you and your employer. Building a portfolio of wins that position you for leadership, or future business ownership. The Intra-preneurship Map to Freedom isn’t just about earning more—it’s about transforming the way you see yourself, your work, and your future.

Connected Leaders Academy Life is messy. No matter how hard we try to avoid adversity and uncertainty, stuff happens and no one is immune to the pitfalls of life’s fury. Andi Buerger shares her powerful personal journey and extraordinary resolve to live forward despite incomprehensible adversity. Her distinctive stories, vivid illustrations, and practical truths will inspire attendees and offer hope to those who feel they might never get out of their life pit. Andi shares that even blind faith is better than no faith at all. Through compounded tragedies, desperate grief, business fumbles and failures, personal betrayals, physical debilitation, and so much more, God’s voice at age five is the voice that led Andi to stay in the game of life and move forward to help others, including herself. She shares how impacting even the smallest prayer and tiniest choice can truly move a mountain. Moving mountains like despair, frustration, disappointments, resentment, brokenness, depression, and unforgiveness, allows us to clearly see the path forward to ultimate fulfillment. Like Peter the Apostle who walked towards Jesus on the water, as long as he stayed focused on what mattered most, he had no fear! When we lose our focus, we lose our footing, our confidence, and start drowning in the ocean of uncertainty and disbelief. Andi shares the power of acknowledgement versus acceptance, examples of fearless faith in action, how forgiveness accelerates living forward, and choices you can make today to get back on track or to enhance the forward living path you’re already on. Andi Buerger is the Founder and Chair of Voices Against Trafficking™, an international nonprofit organization dedicated to ending human trafficking in the U.S. and abroad. She also co-founded Beulah’s Place, another nonprofit which served at-risk homeless teens in danger of abuse, trafficking or other criminally predatory activities. Andi, herself a victim of unspeakable abuse, is a highly sought-after international speaker and advocate for those who cannot speak for themselves. Andi’s books are available online at Amazon.com including her newest release, Voices Against Trafficking - Courage Is Contagious. Her magazine, Voices Of Courage® is available on VoicesOfCourage.media. Andi is regularly heard across the airwaves and on television podcasts, speaking on Capitol Hill and for government agencies, universities, churches, businesses, and more in the U.S. and abroad. By sharing her personal story, Andi is creating greater awareness of human trafficking, child exploitation, and the devastating cost to America's future. info@voicesagainsttrafficking.com https://voicesagainsttrafficking.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VoicesAgainstTrafficking https://www.instagram.com/voices_against_trafficking/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/voices-against-trafficking/posts/?feedView=all   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

Connected Leaders Academy Have you ever walked through a season so painful it changed everything about who you are? Have you faced a loss so deep that it left you questioning if you would ever find your way forward? Life has a way of bringing moments that stop us in our tracks—times when the path ahead is unclear, and the weight of what we’ve been through feels almost unbearable. In those moments, we’re faced with a choice: to stay buried in the rubble or to rise and step forward into something new. In this deeply moving talk, speaker and creative resilience coach Jenny Burba invites you into her journey of navigating profound loss, finding healing, and experiencing an awakening that redefined her purpose. With honesty and hope, she shares how seasons of hardship can become training grounds for compassion, courage, and purposeful leadership. Today, Jenny uses her story to equip others with hope and practical strategies for stepping into leadership, even when life feels broken. Attendees will walk away with: • Encouragement that God can use every season for good • A deeper understanding of leadership as service, not status • Tangible steps to begin leading from a place of authenticity and faith • A reminder that it’s possible to rise while you’re still healing This message is for anyone who has faced adversity and wonders if they still have something to give. Jenny’s story is proof that you can be both wounded and wise—and that your greatest trials can become the foundation of your greatest impact. Her awakening is a reminder that even in the darkest seasons, you can rise, lead, and live out your calling with courage and grace. Jenny Burba is a spirit-led speaker, graphic designer, and creative resilience coach who helps people turn life’s deepest losses into a platform for hope and purpose. A wife, remarried to an incredible husband, mother of thirteen (including two bonus children), and grandmother of three, Jenny has walked through the challenges of teen motherhood, a difficult first marriage, the stillbirth of her 8th child, and the loss of her first husband to COVID. Rooted in faith and fueled by creativity, she has transformed her own seasons of hardship into a life of service, encouragement, and leadership. Jenny inspires others to discover strength in their stories, to approach leadership with compassion and integrity, and to step into opportunities that honor both their journey and their calling. jenny@burbadesigns.com https://www.burbadesigns.com/ https://www.facebook.com/jennifer.burba.1982/ https://www.instagram.com/burbadesigns/ www.linkedin.com/in/jenniferburba82   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

Connected Leaders Academy Most people believe they're awake because they've rejected obvious forms of control. They eat healthy, stopped watching toxic news, practice yoga. They feel enlightened. But awakening isn't about swapping beliefs—it's about developing the capacity to question everything, especially what you're most certain about. At sixteen, Joshua Hale was disfellowshipped from his religious community for choosing love over conformity. That moment began a two-decade journey through multiple cages: addiction, corporate dependency, and financial systems designed to maintain control. Your brain is literally wired to keep you asleep. Every belief you accept without examination becomes a groove in your mind, making similar beliefs easier to accept and harder to question. In this talk, Joshua reveals three practical tools for genuine awakening: the ancient Trivium Method for critical thinking, AI as a self discovery tool rather than threat, and how to build parallel systems that align with your values. Real freedom requires courage to question everything and build alternatives. Your consciousness is the most revolutionary force on Earth. Joshua Hale is a freedom advocate, AI consultant, and consciousness entrepreneur who has spent over a decade helping individuals break free from limiting systems and build empowered, intentional lives. After being kicked out from his religious community at 16, Joshua navigated addiction, 9-5 wage slave, and societal conditioning before discovering the tools for genuine transformation. He now lives on a family homestead in Bellingham, Washington, where he combines holistic living principles with cutting-edge AI technology. As the creator of the Entrepreneur's Compass, Joshua has guided hundreds of conscious entrepreneurs through systematic business and personal transformation. His work integrates ancient wisdom practices like the Trivium Method with modern technology, empowering clients to build businesses and communities aligned with their deepest values. A father, DJ, and mutual aid leader, Joshua's mission is simple: help awakened individuals create the parallel systems our world desperately needs. jh@joshuahale.io https://joshuahale.io https://www.facebook.com/IAMJoshuaHale https://www.instagram.com/iamjoshuahale/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/iamjoshuahale/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

Her mother, believing she was protecting Maria, unknowingly placed her in harm’s way. Tragically, her mother passed away at the age of 41, and Maria was never allowed to return to school. Despite the trauma and isolation, Maria became a mother of four—three daughters and one son—with her abuser. Through resilience and a deep desire to change her life, she turned to books, psychology, and self-education. With no guidance but her will to survive, she taught herself English, earned her GED, a degree in Occupational Studies, and a Bachelor’s degree with a concentration in psychology. Today, Maria Carrion is a domestic violence advocate, certified life coach, speaker, and author of Fighting All Battles Into Success.

Connected Leaders Academy What’s the secret to crushing it in business and having a marriage that doesn’t just survive—but thrives? Spoiler: it’s not splitting everything 50/50 or keeping score of who emptied the dishwasher last. (Seriously, stop doing that.) In this fun, fast-paced, and some might say, unconventional talk, Meredith & Craig will share how they turned their own marriage into the ultimate superpower for their life and business. As marriage coaches for entrepreneurs, they know firsthand that when your relationship is clicking, you’re unstoppable. But when it’s not? It’s like trying to run a marathon with a pebble in your shoe—and that pebble is also on fire. The key? Stop treating your marriage like a business transaction (or worse, a competition) and start treating it like what it really is: a team sport. Through relatable stories, practical wisdom, and humor, you’ll learn about the 200% marriage —a simple mindset shift that turns you and your partner into teammates working toward the same big, audacious goals. You’ll also discover the 5 commitments all great teammates make, like how to communicate without turning every discussion into a debate, how to resolve conflict without needing a referee, and—most importantly—how to have fun together (because marriage without laughter is just a reallllllllly long meeting). By the end of this talk, you’ll walk away with: · A new way of looking at your marriage that’s equal parts inspiring and achievable. · Tools to handle the hard stuff, laugh through the awkward stuff, and build something amazing together. · Permission to stop keeping score and start actually winning in life. If you’re ready to create a marriage so solid it fuels your business, your dreams, and your life—this is your playbook. Let’s build your 200% marriage…and have a blast doing it! Meredith & Craig former corporate ninjas turned rockstar entrepreneurs, left behind the unfulfilling 9-5 corporate grind when the company they both worked for closed their office and wanted them to move across the country. Harnessing their secret weapon – their rock-solid marriage – these adventure-seeking nomads help couples reignite joy, fun, and connection so they can transform their relationship into their secret weapon for building extraordinary lives together. As coaches, authors, international speakers, and co-hosts of the Road of Life Podcast, they bring a unique and authentic mix of humor, empathy, and a dash of tough love to take relationships from surviving to thriving, having a whole lot of fun in the process. Unconventional but effective, they get no greater joy than watching their clients reconnect, become a true team and crush life together. hello@roadoflifecoaching.com https://roadoflifecoaching.com/ https://www.facebook.com/mfmackay; https://www.facebook.com/cshbennett https://www.instagram.com/meredithandcraig/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/meredithandcraig/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.
