Keynotes

Stop Performing Fine - Unless It's Your Job

An engaging, story-driven keynote about what happens when success on the outside no longer matches the truth on the inside. Drawing from Dr. Lisa Summerour’s experiences in acting, leadership, and consulting, the talk explores the difference between looking the part, learning the part, and truly owning a role. Through stories about character development, rehearsal, professional success, and misalignment, Dr. Lisa helps high achievers recognize when they are relying on titles, expectations, appearances, or performance to carry what has not yet been developed—or what no longer fits.

Attendees learn how to recalibrate from the inside out, reconnect with self-trust, and take the next aligned step forward.

Program Takeaways:

Consider how a major life transition can disrupt identity—not just circumstances.

Examine the roles, relationships, titles, and expectations they may have allowed to define their worth.

Explore the A.A.C.T.™ Framework as a way to reconnect with agency, truth, and self-trust.

Identify a possible next step toward a more aligned chapter, even without complete certainty.

When the Role Changes But the Person Has Not

When organizations restructure, eliminate roles, or experience organizational change, employees often face more than operational change—they experience identity disruption. While organizations focus on systems and processes, individuals are left to reconcile who they are after things have shifted around them. Drawing on the proprietary A.A.C.T.™ Framework, Dr. Lisa Summerour explores the connection between organizational change, employee engagement, trust, and resilience, providing practical strategies that help people recalibrate without losing themselves in the process.

Program Takeaways:

Recognize the signs of identity disruption during organizational change.

Understand how identity influences engagement, trust, resilience, and performance.

Apply the A.A.C.T.™ Framework to support successful workplace transitions.

Help employees move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Identity Collapse Is Not the Problem—it’s the Portal

A personal and practical keynote about what happens when a major life transition changes more than your circumstances—it changes the way you understand yourself. Drawing from Dr. Lisa Summerour’s lived experience of family, career, relationship, and identity shifts, the talk helps audiences recognize when an old version of life no longer fits and discover how to move forward without losing themselves in the process.

Through the A.A.C.T.™ Framework, Dr. Lisa shows audiences that identity disruption is not proof that they are broken or behind. It can be the beginning of a more intentional, aligned, and fully expressed chapter.

Program Takeaways:

Recognize when a life transition has disrupted their identity—not just their circumstances.

Separate their core worth from roles, relationships, titles, and expectations that may have changed.

Use the A.A.C.T.™ Framework to reclaim agency, name what is true, and reconnect with self-trust.

Take one aligned step toward the next chapter without needing complete certainty first.
