The Power of Grounded Confidence - How to Unleash Your Authenticity and Become Unshakeable: What unspoken rules are you playing by? Do you feel like you have to say yes to everything? Aren’t allowed to make a mistake? These rules push you away from your confidence - and toward proving, pleasing, and perfecting. Walk away knowing how to break free from the rules, reconnect to your grounded confidence, and become unshakeable.
Imposter Syndrome - And What to Do About It: “I’m not ready. I just got lucky. Do I really know enough to be here?!?” These imposter thoughts influence how you show up in your career - but it doesn’t have to be that way! Let’s quiet the inner critic and reignite your confidence so you can take bold steps and know you deserve a seat at the table.
Discover Your Authentic Voice - And How to Use It to Create Impact: Have you ever felt like something had to be perfect before you could share it? Or that you didn't know enough to speak up? Or maybe you've been told that you're too direct. Or need to be more confident. Or both! It's time to let those messages go and reclaim your voice, get heard, and create impact.
Surviving to Thriving - A New Way to Overcome Burnout: Massages and bubble baths are great, but they aren’t the cure to burnout. Instead of scratching the surface with temporary fixes, we’ll dive into the REAL steps to recover from burnout so you can truly thrive in your work, life, and leadership.
Mastering Tough Talks: Hard conversations. Tough feedback. Conflict. It’s not fun. These situations can be downright uncomfortable - even nerve wracking! But they're also necessary for driving results, building strong relationships, and advocating for yourself and your career. You'll walk away from this session with practical strategies to handle difficult conversations with confidence, ease, and effectiveness.
