You’re Still Becoming™
A Science-Backed Framework for a Lifetime of Continuous Change
Change isn’t the interruption of life
• it’s the throughline. Careers evolve. Identities shift. Organizations move through chapters of growth, disruption, and reinvention.
In this signature keynote, Nina Sossamon Pogue emboldens audiences to become the best they can be. She introduces her THIS Framework
• a practical, science-based method designed to help people understand where they are in their timeline, regulate stress during uncertainty, and think more clearly about what’s next.
Audiences learn how to zoom out, see their lives and careers as chapters, and recognize that today’s challenges are not setbacks, they are part of becoming the next version of themselves.
The result isn’t hype or temporary motivation. It’s perspective, composure, and confidence grounded in how humans actually adapt to change.
What audiences gain
A clear framework and new common language (THIS) for navigating change and uncertainty
A Timeline perspective that reduces fear and emotional reactivity
Science-backed tools to stay grounded under pressure
A healthier internal narrative about growth and transition
Confidence in the next chapter
• personally and professionally
Ideal for
All-company events, transformation initiatives, leadership conferences, culture and wellbeing programs.

Sustained Success
How High Achievers Adapt, Perform, and Stay in the Game
High achievers don’t struggle because they lack ambition
• they struggle because they’re trying to continuously improve during constant change without a framework for managing the pressure over time.
In this keynote, Nina Sossamon Pogue applies the THIS Framework specifically to high performers and executive teams. Using timeline thinking, she shows why success is not a straight line, and she introduces her Reverse Resume™ concept
• that shows why trying to “hold it together” indefinitely leads to exhaustion, not excellence.
Audiences learn how stress, fear, and identity interact during periods of sustained performance, and how to adapt intentionally so success can be repeated without erosion.
This is not about slowing down. It’s about learning how to continually be productive and raise the bar.
What audiences gain
A science-based understanding of stress and adaptation in high performers
Practical tools to regulate pressure and sustain performance
Timeline-based strategies for navigating seasons of intensity
Permission to evolve without losing momentum or credibility
A long-game mindset for success in a changing world
Ideal for
Executive teams, leadership offsites, sales organizations, professional associations, high-achiever events
