Nexxus Solutions Group operates at the intersection of insurance, contracting, and customer care, managing a trusted network of contractors and service providers across North America. At their 2022 Access Conference in Orlando, Nexxus brought together nearly 1,000 professionals, including contractors, suppliers, and insurance executives, many of whom are entrepreneurs navigating constant change and high-stakes demands.

The organization sought a keynote speaker who could offer more than industry talk, they wanted a message that could inspire resilience in the face of burnout, market shifts, and leadership fatigue. With a room full of business owners and decision-makers, they needed someone who could speak both to personal growth and professional perseverance.

Cara Brookins delivered just that with her morning keynote, “RISE: How a House Built a Family.” In a 45-minute presentation followed by 15 minutes of Q&A, Cara shared her real-life story of overcoming adversity by literally building a house from the ground up with her four children. The metaphor resonated instantly with contractors and insurance professionals who understand both the literal and figurative process of rebuilding after loss.

Cara’s message emphasized courage, clarity, and the daily choices that shape long-term outcomes, key themes for entrepreneurs leading teams, managing clients, and adapting in real time. Her ability to tie emotional resilience to business ownership challenges sparked immediate response.

Attendees walked away not just inspired, but reconnected to their purpose and better equipped to face the unpredictable road ahead. For conferences in the insurance, construction, or service provider industries, Cara remains a powerful choice for keynote programming that elevates mindset, morale, and mission.
