The constant pressure to perform and persevere can slowly pull leaders away from their authentic voice\, values\, and vision long before burnout ever appears.

Participants will learn how to recognize the early signs of Leadership Drift\, reconnect to their authentic voice and values without leaving their current role\, and lead with greater conviction\, presence\, and energy from the inside out.

She and her husband\, Jeremy\, have been married for 15 years and are raising two daughters\, Ramsey (13) and Merritt (9). Both Melissa and Jeremy were raised in Jamestown\, ND\, and returned to the community in 2022 after time away for work. As a family\, they enjoy traveling (and the good food that comes with it)\, camping\, playing card and board games\, and watching movies. Melissa is an avid reader\, a literacy champion\, and a fierce advocate for mental health\, wellness\, and access to treatment. \nMelissa launched Balance & Business with Melissa in April 2025 after more than seven years in the social selling/direct sales industry—five of those in leadership. During that time\, she also spent over 12 years in healthcare administration\, steadily working her way up through multiple positions with hard work\, curiosity\, and a drive to excel. For the past 11 years\, she has also worked with a local poker tour. At one point\, she balanced a full-time healthcare role\, a part-time poker position\, a thriving direct sales business\, raising two young daughters\, and managing her household. \nThese experiences taught Melissa a lot—the good\, the bad\, and the ugly. In 2019\, she realized her actions didn’t fully align with her priorities. That realization led her to create systems and strategies for her work and home life that allowed for true balance and peace of mind. By combining those systems with the skills she developed in healthcare and direct sales—and her passion for teaching\, connecting\, and helping others grow—coaching became the natural next step. \nToday\, Melissa supports women in building and growing their businesses without sacrificing their personal lives. She believes in big goals\, strong boundaries\, and creating both with intention. \n2:30 p.m. – 3 p.m. – Wrap Up & Reflection \nPresenting Sponsors \n \nPlatinum Sponsors \n  \nGold Sponsors \n  \n       \nSilver Sponsors \n \n \nBronze Sponsors \n \n \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Deciding on Renting\, Leasing\, or Buying Commercial Property

SUMMARY:Connecting With Our Core Values
DESCRIPTION:This course is designed to help you experience a deeper sense of well-being and success. All of us organize our lives around a set of values. These values determine how we spend our time\, make our decisions\, and feel about ourselves. Unfortunately\, it is often the case that the values that we are organizing around are not our own. \nDuring this workshop we will explore the ways in which we are currently orienting ourselves (the good\, the bad\, and the ugly) and determine how much of the current system is helping us to live our most meaningful and fulfilling life. Finally we develop a list of core values that are personal\, unique\, and deeply important to us. We will discuss how we can reorganize life around our truest core values and experience deeper levels of fulfillment. \nOUTCOMES:  \n\n– Understand how you are currently evaluating yourself and organizing your life.\n– Clarify where your current system helps and where it harms you.\n– Replace your current system with a new system that is deeply personal\, will consistently yield deep fulfillment.\n– Learn how to take power away from unhelpful values and organize your life around your true core values.\n\nAbout our Speaker: \nSara Oliveri Olumba is a life coach\, couples coach & speaker based in Washington\, D.C.. She is one of fewer than 400 people in the world to earn her master’s degree in positive psychology. Sara has been voted Best Life Coach in Washington DC four years in a row! She is a former faculty member at George Mason University where she taught “Understanding Human Happiness and Well-being.” Sara gave a popular TEDx talk on “The Two Steps to Lifelong Happiness.” And in 2015\, She helped launch the American School of Professional Life Coaching DC. Sara has a podcast called  This Miraculous Life.

SUMMARY:Time Management Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This is an interactive workshop. Attendees are encouraged to bring their planner (digital or paper) and a notebook.  Copies of the slides will be sent to participants after the presentation \n\nCurrent schedule\nPriorities\nSetting the schedule\n\nPriorities\n“Firm” appointments\n“Flexible” MUSTS\nWork time blocking\n\n\nPlan your priorities\n\nTop 3\nTasks\nAssign the time\n\n\nManage expectations\nQ&A\nStay connected\n\nAbout Our Speaker: Melissa Thury\, Founder of Balance & Business with Melissa \nMelissa Thury is a growth-minded visionary\, chaos coordinator\, and the Founder & Coach at Balance & Business with Melissa. \nFirst and foremost\, Melissa is a wife and mom. She and her husband\, Jeremy\, have been married for 15 years and are raising two daughters\, Ramsey (13) and Merritt (9). Both Melissa and Jeremy were raised in Jamestown\, ND\, and returned to the community in 2022 after time away for work. As a family\, they enjoy traveling (and the good food that comes with it)\, camping\, playing card and board games\, and watching movies. Melissa is an avid reader\, a literacy champion\, and a fierce advocate for mental health\, wellness\, and access to treatment. \nMelissa launched Balance & Business with Melissa in April 2025 after more than seven years in the social selling/direct sales industry—five of those in leadership. During that time\, she also spent over 12 years in healthcare administration\, steadily working her way up through multiple positions with hard work\, curiosity\, and a drive to excel. For the past 11 years\, she has also worked with a local poker tour. At one point\, she balanced a full-time healthcare role\, a part-time poker position\, a thriving direct sales business\, raising two young daughters\, and managing her household. \nThese experiences taught Melissa a lot—the good\, the bad\, and the ugly. In 2019\, she realized her actions didn’t fully align with her priorities. That realization led her to create systems and strategies for her work and home life that allowed for true balance and peace of mind. By combining those systems with the skills she developed in healthcare and direct sales—and her passion for teaching\, connecting\, and helping others grow—coaching became the natural next step. \nToday\, Melissa supports women in building and growing their businesses without sacrificing their personal lives. She believes in big goals\, strong boundaries\, and creating both with intention.
