A keynote speaker for high-achieving women navigating resilience, self-leadership, and agency when outcomes aren’t controllable.
For years, Sharon Hujik lived in a world where competence equaled control. She solved problems. She carried responsibility. She pushed through difficulty. But at a certain point, competence stopped working — and life demanded something deeper.
Sharon’s insight didn’t come from theory — it came from lived experience. When her toolbox ran dry and every strategy she knew failed her, she discovered the one thing she still controlled:
who she chose to become.
That realization reshaped her work and her voice. Today, Sharon speaks clearly, honestly, and compassionately to women who’ve done everything “right” and still find themselves swept into uncertainty, burnout, grief, or prolonged pressure. Her keynote reframes resilience as self-leadership — a stance of clarity and choice, not endurance or platitudes.
Sharon helps audiences understand:
- the difference between control and responsibility
- why emotional regulation is essential to leadership
- how to reclaim agency when outcomes are not predictable
- how to move from endurance to intentional, steady leadership
Her work isn’t about “pushing harder.” It’s about choosing who you become, even when life doesn’t cooperate.


Sharon brings an uncommon combination of lived experience, intellectual clarity, and grounded presence to the stage.
She speaks honestly about complexity without sensationalizing it, and about resilience without reducing it to perseverance. Her voice is calm, thoughtful, and deeply human—qualities that allow audiences to feel both seen and capable.
Event planners value Sharon’s ability to hold a room with steadiness, insight, and warmth—especially when the topic is hard, personal, or nuanced.

Sharon is also the host of the Rising to Resilience podcast, where she explores how people grow, lead, and choose themselves through difficult seasons.
She believes resilience isn’t about endless endurance.
It’s about self-leadership—the quiet, daily decision to take responsibility for who we become, even when life doesn’t turn out the way we planned.
