WEBINAR
Tuesday, May 19, 2026
10 AM ET / 9 AM CT
What does it really look like to step away from a traditional role and build something on your own?
At a recent Radiate People event focused on the solo journey, a panel conversation sparked honest reflection on what it takes to make that leap and what happens after you do.
As a proud sponsor of Radiate People, Lakeside HR Group is excited to bring that conversation to the broader Lakeside Chat community through this special webinar.
Join Brian Hanley of The Alignment Company, Suzanne Murphy of Abeo Consulting Group, and Kelli Schnieder of SIVO as they share their personal stories of transitioning from established roles into independent work. From the moments that sparked the leap to the realities of navigating freedom, uncertainty, and growth, this discussion offers a candid look at what it means to design a career outside the traditional path.
Whether you’re already working independently, considering a shift, or simply curious about the evolving world of solo professionals, this conversation will offer perspective, insight, and connection.
