Ellevate NYC Network RealTalk Series: Uncharted

The "RealTalk" series goes beyond surface-level career advice and digs into the complex, often unspoken professional journeys.

Our series aims to inspire and empower women+ by sharing unfiltered career journeys and insights. Address the complex, often unspoken career transitions and inner dialogues professionals experience.

From Corporate Climb to Entrepreneurial Edge: Uncharted is a candid, intimate conversation with women+ who’ve made the bold leap from the security of the corporate world to the uncertainty—and freedom—of building something of their own. This isn’t a highlight reel or a how-to panel. This is real talk about leaving behind titles, learning to bet on yourself, and navigating the messy, brave in-between.

Join us for an evening where vulnerability is welcomed, pivots are celebrated, and the path less traveled is laid bare. You’ll hear raw reflections on identity shifts, financial fears, inner doubts, moments of reinvention, and the surprising joys of defining success on your own terms.

This session pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to leave behind the steady rhythm of corporate life and carve out your own lane as an entrepreneur. No polished success stories or sanitized advice—just honest accounts of the pivots, doubts, failures, and breakthroughs that shaped their entrepreneurial journeys. Hear the real talk about:

• The moment they decided to leave the safety of corporate life
• Navigating the identity shift from employee to founder
• The uncomfortable truths about starting over
• Building confidence when there's no roadmap
• Creating support systems when conventional networks fall away

This event is presented in partnership with , a personal and professional coaching platform that empowers individuals to unlock their full potential and cultivate a growth-oriented mindset.
