Native owned - Native designed“The Sovereign Table was one of the best trainings I've been able to attend. I am a real fan of the interaction with the staff and other members. The smaller group made for better conversations and networking. The guest speaker was so informative and I believe will be a valuable contact in our future. Paradigm Shift is a 10 out of 10. Thank you!”

The agenda
Fewer Seats Deeper Impact
The Sovereign Table is a curated leadership experience limited to 40 participants. We like to say, “It’s like a conference, but not really.” Every element of this event is deigned to give our tribal leaders the best experience possible. With fewer participants than a typical conference we are able to build stronger connections, answer specific questions for your tribe, and customize your event. Even, the Disney Discovery Day is by design for impactful lessons and practical applications, not just a vacation.September 8: ArrivalBeginning at 4pm, Your room will be ready with welcome gifts and fun surprises from the Paradigm Shift teamSeptember 9:800am - Breakfast

Attendee Feedback:
“Great Speakers, helpful (Paradigm Shift) staff”“Lindsey's perfect!”“Thanks for all you guys did.”"The smaller group format gives this summit a more personal experience that other conferences don't have. Love the energy Paradigm Shift brings to the room! I personally appreciated the opportunity to get to know each of the other attendees through interactive activities. Any opportunity to get people out of their seat and talking helps to keep them actively engaged with the topic at hand and overall agenda.”“The lanyards were a really nice touch.”"Staff is amazing and I look forward to working with you all in the future!”“I enjoyed my time with Paradigm Shift. It was interesting to hear and be part of conversations with fellow administrators as well as tribal leaders.”“I enjoyed the small group size in particular.”“I like that Paradigm Shift makes you step outside your comfort to have a better experience at their conferences”“Paradigm Shift is a 10 out of 10. Thank you!”

Thank you for visiting our site and considering The Sovereign Table. It is a deep honor for us to serve Tribal Nations. Our Tribal leaders carry an immeasurable weight that largely goes unnoticed. We notice. As we have had the opportunity to work with Tribal Councils on strategic planning, time and time again, we see the amount of stress and internal pressure you feel. You are making huge decisions for the future of your people. You are balancing the traditions of the past with the opportunities of the future. You are navigating family pressures and political tension daily. We created this event for you. As a space to breath, to connect with others, and to grow.
We honor you.
