Description

Networking & Non-Profit Showcase 11:00AM-12:00PM
Program 12:00-1:00PM

The end of the year always brings reflections.
“I should’ve…” “I could’ve…” “I would’ve…”
Well, enough of that! It’s time to shed that funk and refocus on what we can do now.

In this fun, fast-paced, and refreshingly real keynote, international speaker and connection catalyst, Jaime Marco helps audiences trade guilt for growth and pressure for progress.

Using her signature UnFunkt™ Framework, Jaime will share a few of her top Micro-Moves to help you wrap up the year with clarity, connection, and gratitude and step into 2026 with renewed energy and purpose.

You’ll laugh, reflect, and leave with simple, doable shifts that actually stick; at work, at home, and everywhere in between.

Because when you get UnFunkt™, you don’t just look back on what could’ve been, you move forward on what will be.

Join us at 11:00am to explore local Lakewood Ranch non-profits at our showcase before the program begins at 12:00pm. Don’t miss this chance to get inspired, make meaningful connections, and kick off the holidays with purpose.
