BAILOR President Sonia Robinson Selected as International Speaker at 2027 Women Thrive Summit

Robinson's Power of the Pause philosophy will reach a global audience at the 2027 Women Thrive Summit while extending BAILOR's leadership presence internationally

HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BAILOR President Sonia Robinson has been selected as an international speaker for the 2027 Women Thrive Summit, a global virtual conference that brings together women leaders, entrepreneurs, authors, and thought leaders from around the world during Women's History Month.

Nearly 2,000 people applied to speak at the 2027 Summit. Of those applicants, only approximately 50 speakers were selected. Robinson will be among them, joining an international lineup of voices sharing perspectives on leadership, business, professional development, and personal growth.

Robinson will bring her signature Power of the Pause philosophy to the Summit. Her work helps accomplished professionals navigate seasons when the plan changes, whether through growth, career transition, caregiving, a health diagnosis, loss, an unexpected opportunity, or a deliberate decision to reconsider what comes next.

Her flagship keynote, The Power of the Pause: Sometimes Stillness Is the Strategy, turns that philosophy into practical strategies for leaders and high-achieving professionals facing growth, change, and transition. It challenges the instinct to respond to every season with immediate action, helping leaders discern when to move, when to pause, and how to decide what comes next.

"Growth has shaped every chapter of my career, yet so have the seasons when the plan changed and I had to decide what came next," said Robinson. "The Power of the Pause grew from learning that leadership is also about developing the discernment to know when to stop, reflect, and choose the next move intentionally. I'm honored to bring that conversation to women from around the world through the Women Thrive Summit."

The Women Thrive Summit is part of Women Thrive Media, a global platform dedicated to amplifying women's voices through media, events, publishing, and other opportunities for visibility and connection. The annual Summit brings together women across countries and industries to share their expertise, experiences, and perspectives.

"Sonia brings together executive experience, personal perspective, and a practical approach to leadership that aligns strongly with what we want women to experience through the Women Thrive Summit," said Raimonda Jankunaite, founder and CEO of Women Thrive Media. "Her message about navigating growth and transition through the power of the pause adds an important perspective to our global conversation, and we're excited to welcome her to the 2027 speaker community."

Robinson brings more than two decades of leadership and communications experience to the Summit, including experience as a mid-market CEO. Today, she serves as President of BAILOR and a founding BAILOR Certified™ Coach, is founder of Mamie Ruth & Co., author of Pause: Sometimes Stillness Is the Strategy, and an adjunct instructor at The University of Alabama in Huntsville.

Robinson's selection extends BAILOR's external leadership presence, bringing another executive voice from the firm to a global stage. It also reflects a broader expectation at BAILOR that its leaders remain active in the business and leadership communities they serve.

"At BAILOR, impact comes first. We choose people who long to do meaningful work in the world and bring that experience back to the leaders we serve," said Sonya Bailor, founder and CEO of BAILOR. "Sonia is exactly that kind of leader. She brings executive experience, coaching expertise, and a deeply developed point of view on what leadership requires when growth and change disrupt the plan. Seeing her carry that perspective to a global stage is a proud moment for Sonia and our entire team. Ms. Robinson is a powerful example of the kind of impact we expect BAILOR leaders to make."

The 2027 Women Thrive Summit will be held virtually March 15–19, 2027, during Women's History Month. Additional information about the Summit, speakers, and registration is available at womenthrivesummit.com.
