Ladies, I’m thrilled to introduce today’s speaker—Ali Carson—who has spent the last two decades helping leaders unlock their strengths, lead with authenticity, and build thriving workplaces.
As the Founder and CEO of Movere Coaching, Ali is an international best-selling author, a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach, and an ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC)—which is basically the coaching world’s way of saying, ‘She really knows her stuff!’
Before launching her coaching business, she led talent development in both the healthcare and legal industries, but today, she’s here to share her expertise with you.
When she’s not coaching leaders, you’ll find her exploring the outdoors in the family RV, paddleboarding, or tracking down the best local restaurants—because, let’s be honest, great food is also an essential leadership skill.
Please join me in welcoming Ali Carson!
Pulling from her chapter in the book Lead, Lift, and Leave a Legacy: Shining a Light on the Remarkable Journeys of Women Leaders and Their Mentors, Ali will share powerful stories of everyday mentorship that shaped her leadership journey—and invite you to reflect on the mentors who’ve shaped yours. You’ll leave with practical insights on how to lead with presence, encourage others with intention, and become the mentor you once needed.
Presentation takeaways:
• Reflect on the impact of past mentors and identify key traits that shaped their personal and professional growth.
• Recognize informal opportunities to support, encourage, and mentor others in everyday leadership moments.
• Learn practical ways to lead with presence, authenticity, and belief—creating a meaningful ripple effect in their communities and workplaces.
