Featured Keynote Speaker

From ICU to CEO, 2X TEDx Speaker, Power Shift Expert

Julia Nicholson shouldn’t be here. At 18, she survived a near-fatal head-on collision that left her critically injured—body shattered, spirit shaken, and confidence destroyed. By 26, she was a divorced single mom with no education past high school. By 38, Julia was the CEO of a $450 million-dollar company.

She now shares the exact tools she used to go from shattered at 18 to the boardroom. Julia’s raw, high-octane programs show how to shift the power you’re already using—from fueling insecurity, fear, and stress—to strengthening confidence, courage, and resilience.

This isn’t motivation. It’s a catalyst for transformation.
