Meet Our Speakers

  • Sun Ah Brock

    “Finding the Courage to Belong”
    Adopted from Korea at age four, Sun Ah’s journey reveals that fitting in isn’t the same as belonging. Through powerful storytelling, she inspires audiences to embrace vulnerability, build authentic connections, and create spaces—at work and in life—where everyone feels they belong.

    Founder of LUX Decor and MARU, she’s leading a movement to design not just beautiful spaces, but meaningful communities.

  • Christina Harbridge

    Session with Christina Harbridge
    Details coming soon — but expect something unforgettable. Christina Harbridge is a behaviorist, author, and former CEO known for transforming communication through empathy, physiology, and storytelling. Her unorthodox methods have redefined influence and leadership, proving that authenticity and emotional literacy drive real results.

  • Ingrid Schneider

    “Welcome to the un-boring side of AI”
    AI isn’t a shortcut—it’s a skillset. When you treat it as a teammate, not a trick, you unlock exponential productivity and more time for creativity. The best results happen when human intuition leads and AI amplifies your impact.

  • Cheldin Barlatt Rumer

    Meet Our Emcee for the event
    Cheldin Barlatt Rumer is the CEO and Executive Producer of THIS IS IT NETWORK™, a global female- and minority-owned digital platform sharing inspiring stories from women leaders and entrepreneurs worldwide. With her signature energy and authenticity, Cheldin empowers audiences to clarify their voice, build their personal brand, and scream their dreams—not whisper them.
