Description
During our May 7th Mixer, we will have a speaker come talk to the group on a professional development topic.

Speaker: Stephen Schutte, Marketing Manager at Innovative Inc.
Topic: Built Through Community: Confidence Earned, Not Given
We’ve all felt it - that quiet voice questioning whether we truly belong in the room. Imposter syndrome doesn’t discriminate. It shows up for leaders, professionals, and community members alike, often at the exact moment we’re stepping into something meaningful.
In this engaging and practical session, Stephen Schutte explores how real confidence isn’t something you wait for - it’s something you build. Through stories, real-world examples, and lessons grounded in community involvement, attendees will learn how showing up, contributing, and staying consistent are the true drivers of confidence and leadership.
This session is designed for professionals, business leaders, and community members who want to move past self-doubt and step more fully into their role - whether in their organization or in the community. Attendees will leave with a renewed perspective on confidence, a clearer sense of belonging, and a practical approach to leading with impact.
