Speaker Bio:
Sophia Mikelionis helps high-achieving professionals make clear, confident decisions under pressure. As a recovering perfectionist, she works with first-gen success stories and mission-driven leaders who are done white-knuckling their next move and ready to decide with clarity instead of burnout.
Today, she brings that same strategic edge to her coaching, and workshops just without the burnout. Where Sophia goes deepest is the moment right before the shift: the career pivot, the promotion on the table, the boundary that finally has to hold for the business to scale responsibly. Through keynotes, hands on workshops and 1:1 coaching, she gives audiences and clients a repeatable way to move from spiraling to deciding, without guessing and without doing it alone.
At the heart of Sophia's work is the MOVE Framework, a decision-making system that starts with a 360° Spin: a fast, honest read on what's actually driving the pattern and what decision a person is really facing, before anything gets mapped.
