LifeLine Global Consulting was honored to welcome Dr. Cara Alexander as the keynote presenter for our Ignite Detroit Contractors program. Her session, Beyond Control: Leading Your Business Growth from Within, resonated deeply with our contractors, equipping them with practical tools to navigate both the external pressures and internal doubts of entrepreneurship.

Through her engaging storytelling and evidence-based leadership framework, Dr. Cara helped participants confront the real challenges of perfectionism, control, and isolation that often hold small business leaders back. By teaching them how to Recognize their Value, Embody Grace, and Conquer Control, she empowered our community to lead with confidence, clarity, and resilience.

The feedback was overwhelming—participants left inspired, validated, and ready to take immediate action in their businesses. Dr. Cara’s ability to merge psychological insight with entrepreneurial reality created a transformational experience that will have a lasting impact on Detroit’s contracting community.

Her use of creative analogies, meaningful anecdotes, and authentic leadership leaves a lasting impact on those she engages. Dr. Alexander doesn’t simply talk about leadership and grace — she lives these values in action. She is truly a rare and inspiring presence in any setting.
