THE PART NOBODY PREPARES YOU FOR
More people are looking for work than there
are jobs to fill. For the first time in years.
If your search search is taking longer than you expected, that is not a reflection of your value. The market shifted. And while the financial pressure is front and center, the identity piece and the mental health toll are usually quieter. Nobody handed you a plan for either one.
The runway is getting short
You've sent more applications than you can count. The gap between what's coming in and what's going out keeps widening. You need income before you find the right full-time role..
Gig work sounds possible but you don't know where to start
You've thought about it. Delivery apps, contract roles, freelancing. But you don'tknow what's actually worth your time what you can realistically earn, or how to get going without it becoming a second job search.
You're probably leaving benefits on the table
Unemployment benefits, local assistance programs, credit protections. Most job seekers don't claim everything they're entitled to because nobody walked them through it.
Your resume and LinkedIn don't account for the gap
You're not sure how to position it without it reading like an apology. The longer the gap goes, the harder this feels to address.
The identity piece is real and most programs skip it
Your work was tied to who you are. When that disappears, so does a lot of your daily structure, your sense of forward movement, and your confidence in rooms you used to own.
You are done with generic advice
"Stay positive." "Your time is coming." "Keep networking." You've heard it. You need something specific you can act on this week, not in three to six months.
WHAT THIS SUMMIT ACTUALLY DELIVERS
Every session is a working session.
You leave with something you can use.
This isn't a day of panels and inspiration. Every speaker delivers a working session. You get a framework, a tool, a process, or a specific next step you didn't have before you sat down.
How to earn this week without abandoning your job search
Specific platforms, honest
income ranges, and how to get started in days. Gig and contract work isn't giving up on your career. It's buying yourself time and options while you keep going..
Are you getting everything you're entitled to right now?
Unemployment benefits, local assistance programs, credit protections. We'll walk through what's available, how to find out what applies to your situation, and what to do about it this week.
How to talk about the gap without making it a liability
A concrete framework for updating your LinkedIn an resume so the gap reads as intentional, not something you're hoping nobody notices.
Your work stopped. Your sense of self doesn't have to.
Practical tools for protecting your identity, daily structure, and wellbeing when everything work-related feels uncertain. This session treats it as the serious issue it is.
Turn your existing
connections into people actively looking out for you
A specific approach to activating the network you already have, so the people who know you are working on your behalf instead of just wishing you well.
You build it live. You leave with it in hand.
The closing session is a working session too. You don't get a template. You build a personalized 30-day action plan specific to your situation before you log off.
IS THIS FOR YOU?
This was built for people in this specific
situation.
โ IYour search is running long
You've sent more applications than you can count. You need options and a plan, not a reminder to stay positive.
โ You need income before you find the right role
Not eventually. You need to know what you can do in the next 7 to 14 days to create some breathing room..
โ You've never seriously considered gig or contract work
You want someone to walk you through it honestly, not pitch it as a dream side hustle.
โ You were impacted by federal job losses in the DMV
The region lost 50,000-plus federal jobs. This summit was built for this moment.
โ The identity piece is hitting you hard
The daily disorientation. The
feeling that your title was your identity. This summit doesn't skip that part...
โ You want a working day, not an inspirational one
Every session delivers something actionable. Come ready to use what you get.
This isn't the right fit if you're currently employed and casually exploring options, or if you're looking for motivation and community connection rather than specific action steps. Every session is built to move you somewhere. If that's what you're here for, get a ticket.

Your host
Tameaka Shelton
CEO, LeadWell Enterprises ยท John Maxwell Certified Speaker,
Trainer and Coach
Tameaka spent over two decades in HR and workforce strategy. She watched good people with strong records get let go, then get lost. No roadmap for the gap. No preparation for what comes after the job ends. Nobody to tell them what they were entitled to, or how to keep their footing while they figured out what was next.
She built this summit because that gap deserves more than a LinkedIn post telling people to hang in there. Every speaker, every session, and the 30-day plan you build before you log off โ it's here because she's spent 20 years watching people need exactly this..
