The Talk

What Are You Carrying? Lessons on Leadership, Entrepreneurship, and Letting Go

As founders, leaders, and builders, we often wear multiple hats. We solve problems, support others, make decisions, manage uncertainty, and carry responsibility for outcomes that matter deeply to us. Over time, may of us become accustomed to carrying more and more: expectations, pressure, obligations, and sometimes responsibilities that may not belong to us in the first place. This interactive conversation invites participants to pause and reflect on a simple but powerful question? What are you carrying? Drawing on lessons from leadership, adult education, and personal development, Jennifer Beitz will explore how self-awareness can help us better understand where our energy is going, how our assumptions influence our choices, and why many high-capacity people struggle to let things go. Rather than focus on productivity or performance, this session creates space for reflection, discussion, and insight. Participants will leave with practical questions they can apply to their own leadership, business and life, along with a deeper understanding of how carrying less can sometimes help us accomplish more. This conversation is designed for founders, aspiring entrepreneurs, and anyone interested in leading and living with greater intention.
