For Résumé Writers & Career Coaches

Ready to build a résumé writing and coaching business that actually works?

You're in the right place if you're tired of generic advice and ready for real, actionable strategies that lead to a thriving, profitable business. The Elite Business Summit brings together career-industry entrepreneurs who want to elevate their brand, scale with confidence, and grow rooted in authenticity.

This is a working summit — not a spectator summit. Come prepared to roll up your sleeves, dig into your business, and leave with real work done, not just inspiration.

Whether you're just launching or have been in the game for years, this three-day event equips you with the tools, insights, and proven frameworks to level up — and set yourself up for a prosperous year ahead.

Three Days · October 22–24, 2026 · The E.L.I.T.E.™ Framework

Become Unreplaceable

81% of job seekers now use AI. 63% get screened out before a human ever sees them. Elite practitioners aren't avoiding AI — they're using it while building the parts of their practice AI can't touch: positioning, strategy, relationship, and trust.

Day 01

Position to Be Seen

Establish Your Brand · Leverage Visibility

9:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Become impossible to confuse with a commodity. Leave with a sharpened niche, human-expert brand messaging, and a working 30-day AI-assisted visibility plan.

Establish Your AI-Era Niche — why specialists out-earn generalists
Brand & Messaging AI Can't Fake — signal human expertise
Leverage Visibility Before You Need It — authority in the right rooms
AI Content Engine: Live Build Lab — 30-day plan, built on-site

Day 02

Profit & Build

Increase Your Revenue · Tighten Your Systems

9:00 AM – 4:00 PM

The money and the machine behind it. Leave with a redesigned, premium-priced offer and a concrete map of where AI takes over the busywork so you can scale without burning out.

From Documents to Transformation — reposition into $3K–$15K packages
Price With Confidence — live offer redesign & value calculators
Build Your AI Tech Stack — automate intake, research, follow-up
Automate the Admin, Protect the Human — live automation map lab

Day 03

Lead & Future-Proof

Elevate to CEO · Closing Capstone

9:00 AM – 1:00 PM

A shorter, sharper closing day. Step out of the operator seat, look five years ahead, and leave with a finalized 90-day plan instead of just inspiration.

Elevate to CEO — think like the owner, not the operator
The 5-Year Industry Outlook — where career services is headed
Your E.L.I.T.E. 90-Day Action Plan — finalized before you leave
Closing Capstone & next-step certification pathways

Days 1 & 2 include a 45-minute lunch plus snacks and coffee, with two 15-minute breaks. Day 3 closes early so you leave energized and ready to execute — not drained.

About the Speaker

"I am a living testimony that an authentic and profitable business CAN be built — if done the right way."

I didn't just wake up one day and magically land a successful career business. I failed forward, made mistakes, and learned the hard way so you don't have to. I know the struggle of undercharging, overworking, and feeling stuck in a business that isn't growing.

After years of trial and error, I figured out the formula — how to price my services with confidence, create systems that save time and energy, and attract premium clients who are happy to pay for my expertise. Now, I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing ALL my business secrets with serious-minded résumé writers and coaches ready to win.

I've built a thriving 6-figure business part-time while serving as a corporate leader, helping hundreds of career professionals transform their brands. I hold 6 certifications — including the coveted PCC from the International Coaching Federation — and a Master of Science in Leadership & Organizational Development.

Expect high-energy, real-talk, no-fluff strategy delivered with humor — because no one needs another boring business seminar.
