Summer 2026 Leadership Workshops

Wednesday, July 22​

Your personal brand isn't just a LinkedIn headline or an elevator pitch, though we'll work on those too, because they matter. It's the answer to the question people are already asking about you when you're not in the room. In this 90-minute virtual workshop, we'll get clear on what that answer is, close the gap between how you see yourself and how you show up, and build a brand that's both strategic and authentically yours. You'll leave with a value proposition you can actually use, a 30-second pitch you've already practiced, and a specific commitment to carry into your week. You already have the credibility. This workshop helps you own it. Register

​Most of us are better at working around hard conversations than having them. We over-prepare, under-deliver, or avoid them entirely. And we pay the price in stalled relationships, unmet needs, and opportunities we didn't take because we couldn't figure out how to start the sentence. This workshop is about changing that. We'll look at what actually makes these conversations hard, how to walk into them with clarity and confidence, and how to advocate for yourself without feeling like you're being difficult. Because the women who get ahead aren't the ones who never ruffle feathers. They're the ones who've learned to speak up anyway.  Register

​The most effective leaders build trust, shift perspectives, and move people, often without formal authority at all. And when it's time to negotiate, they know how to go into that conversation with clarity about what they want and the confidence to ask for it. This workshop combines both skills because they're two sides of the same coin: expanding your reach and using it. We'll talk about how to build the kind of influence that opens doors, and how to negotiate without feeling like you're pushing too hard or asking for too much. No scripts that don't sound like you. Just a more grounded, strategic approach to getting what you've already earned. Register

​Here's the thing nobody says out loud: you can be excellent at your job and still be running on fumes. The overwhelm isn't a sign you're doing it wrong. It's often a sign you're doing too much, for too many people, without enough margin left for yourself. This bonus session goes there. We'll look at what's actually driving the overwhelm in your life, the habits and beliefs that keep it in place, and some real, practical ways to build more capacity without waiting for your calendar to magically clear. You don't have to choose between being good at your work and being okay. But it takes some honest reckoning to get there. Register

You know your stuff. The question is whether the room knows you know your stuff. Women are held to a different standard when they speak, too soft, too sharp, too much, not enough. This workshop is about cutting through that noise and finding a way of communicating that's entirely, powerfully yours. We'll work on presence, structure, vocal authority, and the moments that matter most: the big presentation, the tough room, the question you didn't see coming. Executive presence isn't about performing. It's about showing up so fully as yourself that the room has no choice but to pay attention. Register
