Session: Beyond the C-Suite: Designing a Meaningful Second Act Without Losing Yourself
Leaving the C-suite is rarely just a career move—it’s an identity shift. Many executives discover that while they’re no longer “on the org chart,” the pressure, pace, and patterns of leadership follow them long after the role ends.This session explores what comes after positional power—and how to design a next chapter rooted in clarity, contribution, and coherence rather than urgency or reinvention theatrics.
Drawing from decades of work with senior leaders navigating exits, sabbaticals, and second acts, Kim Groshek introduces a grounded framework for translating experience into influence without returning to exhaustion. Participants will learn how to recalibrate identity, redefine value, and choose what deserves their energy next.
This is not about retirement. It’s about relevance, authorship, and intentional legacy.
Key Takeaways
- How to move from operational leadership to enduring influence
