About this Event
The Breakthrough Collective ™ Summit
September 16–17, 2027 · Cincinnati, Ohio
Presented by Strategic HR Advisors, LLC
Something is changing. Something no longer fits. Or a new choice is asking to be made.
The Breakthrough Collective Summit™ is a two-day, in-person experience for accomplished professionals, executives, entrepreneurs, and community leaders navigating a meaningful decision in work or life. You may be stepping into greater responsibility, reconsidering a priority, or deciding how you want to show up in the role you already hold.
With a group limited to 50 participants, you’ll use guided reflection, facilitated conversations, and practical exercises to get clear about what matters, find the courage to act, and build connections that can help you move forward.
What you’ll experience
Day 1 · See what matters. Use The Breakthrough Compass to examine where you are across work and life, identify what’s changing, and recognize the assumptions or patterns influencing your choices. Hear how other leaders have navigated consequential decisions and use those perspectives to explore your own options.
Day 2 · Decide how you’ll move forward. Build on your Compass work through facilitated conversations and practical exercises. Choose a next step, identify the people and resources that can support you, and decide how you’ll follow through.
What you’ll learn
By the end of the Summit, you’ll be able to:
- Assess your current priorities across work and life using a structured reflection tool.
- Recognize how assumptions, habits, and lived experience influence how you listen, communicate, and make decisions.
- Use reflective questions and active listening to consider different perspectives in professional conversations.
- Evaluate options and trade-offs for a current work or life decision, then choose a next step that reflects what matters to you.
- Create a follow-through plan that identifies an action, a source of support, and a way to check your progress.
