Summit Session
Identity in Transition: Rewriting Who You Are Becoming
Session type: Session
Track: Personal Development
Time: 4:10 pm EST
Duration: 30 minutes
Description: There are seasons when the person you have been no longer quite fits, but the person you are becoming isn’t fully clear yet.
It can happen during a career change, a shift in family or relationships, stepping into leadership, building or leaving a business, reaching a long-held goal, or simply realizing that what once defined you no longer does.
These transitions can leave even highly capable people asking: Who am I now, and what do I actually want from here?
Identity in Transition is a reflective but grounded session for navigating the space between who we have been and who we are becoming. Participants will explore the identities, roles, expectations, patterns, and definitions of success that have shaped how they move through the world, and consider which of those still belong in their next season.
Prior to the session, participants will complete Tyler Skinner’s Make a Move Quiz and bring their individual results with them. During the session, they will use those results as a personal reflection point to explore an important distinction: Is this who I am, or is this simply how I’ve learned to operate?
Rather than rushing to reinvent themselves or immediately answer “What’s next?”, participants will be invited to recognize what has served them, what may no longer fit, and what they want to intentionally carry forward as they become who they are next.
(Limited to 180 attendees)
