Leaving a uniformed role can feel like losing part of your identity — but it can also be the start of something deeply meaningful. In this keynote, Shane Fitzsimmons reflects on the challenges of transition, the fear of losing connection and purpose and the responsibility of agencies to support people through change.

With wisdom, warmth and lived experience, Shane will explore how service doesn’t end when the role does — it simply evolves. Whether through community, leadership, mentoring or new forms of contribution, this session is a powerful reminder that your value endures, and your next chapter can be just as purposeful as the last.
