2026 Event

GeVonna Fassett is the founder of Olivia’s Prayer, an outreach organization serving caregivers while advancing Alzheimer’s awareness in the African American community. Her mission is specific: to make seasoned citizens’ last days their best days and to support the people who love them. 

Known as “The Eldertrician,” GeVonna challenges traditional ideas about leadership by revealing the leadership already happening in families every day. She believes that when you are making decisions for someone who depends on you, you are leading, whether you claim the title or not. 

GeVonna holds a master’s degree in sports administration and a graduate certificate in gerontology. With a multifaceted background that includes broadcasting and work across several industries, she brings clarity and lived experience to conversations about aging and caregiving. 

Her TEDx talk continues her mission to elevate seasoned citizens and help families recognize the leadership in their care. 

Jaime is a Growth Catalyst and Value-Creation Architect who has spent more than two decades helping global organizations turn ambition into results during moments of complexity, disruption, and reinvention. As a senior revenue executive and former Chief Revenue Officer, she has led commercial transformations across technology, hospitality, private equity, and enterprise IT services—where the stakes are high and execution matters. 

After years of building and leading high-performing teams, Jaime came to understand the most critical constraint to sustainable growth isn’t operational—it’s human. 

Today, Jaime is Field CRO at RapidScale, a Cox Business Services company, as well as an executive coach, motivational speaker, and retreat leader devoted to helping leaders create growth from the inside out. She designs transformational retreats that integrate nourishment, embodiment, and courageous truth-telling—supporting leaders in reconnecting with themselves so they can lead with clarity, integrity, and wholeness. 

Her work bridges value creation and self-preservation, reminding us that the most powerful leaders don’t extract more from themselves—they learn how to fuel what matters most. She is the author of the #1 bestseller Dealmaker and writes The Messy Middle, a biweekly newsletter, and is best known for delivering soul-stirring keynote talks, workshops, and retreats that help audiences reconnect to their inner fire and rise without losing their soul.

Dr. Pamela Buchanan is a physician with over 20 years of experience in private practice and emergency medicine. After experiencing burnout firsthand during the pandemic, she transformed her career and life around one core belief: purpose is the prescription. 

Today, she is a TEDx speaker and stress management expert who helps healthcare and corporate audiences reduce burnout by reconnecting to purpose. Through powerful storytelling, practical neuroscience, and real-world clinical insight, she teaches organizations how to turn stress into strategy, burnout into boundaries, and purpose into profit. 

Her work focuses on improving resilience, retention, and sustainable performance—because healthy people build healthy organizations.
