The Career Conversations Nobody Is Having

The Career Conversations Nobody Is Having

  • The Tailor Public House & Kitchen (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Amy Summers returns to Gotham Gators for an intimate brunch dialogue inspired by her new book, “Lift: 10 Mentorship Touchpoints to Empower Your Team and Accelerate Your Career” — a leadership book already gaining attention from Gator Hall of Famers, Heisman Trophy winners, media personalities, and executives nationwide.

A former Gotham Gators and University of Florida Alumni Association board member, Amy will lead ia candid live reading and discussion exploring the career conversations many people experience privately but rarely discuss openly — from confidence, ambition, networking culture, burnout, boundaries, and the pressure to “have it all figured out.”

Inspired by one of the book’s most talked-about chapters, “Touchpoint Eight: Address Taboo Topics,” this brunch dialogue is designed to cut through the screens and surface-level networking that increasingly shape how we communicate today. In a world where so many career conversations are filtered, delayed, or avoided altogether, this is an opportunity to have a real conversation, ask honest questions, and gain practical insight without the usual barriers.

Brunch buffet includes eggs, sausage, bacon, toast, and pancakes.
