Unshakable: the Power of a Learning Leader™

Closing the Confidence Gap & Visibility Gap for Women

Much is made of the gender pay gap, and gender authority gap, but both are exacerbated by the confidence gap and visibility gap women confront. Learn tangible and transferable skills for building deep confidence and being seen and heard on your terms.

Leading through Failure, Uncertainty, and Challenges

Leaders and organizations must prepare and train for when the mission goes wrong. This session is your “basic training” for battling whatever comes your way.

Eschewing stale “SOPs” and dated “best practices”, this session will show you how to challenge assumptions and question the fundamentals as you make the seemingly impossible possible for yourself and your organization.

Intentional Experimentation & the Pursuit of Excellence

Develop an “enlightened swagger” as you learn how to follow the leads, experiment intentionally, and unlock the excellence within yourself, your teams, and your organization.

Mastering Your Mind & Showing Up Powerfully

To be taken seriously, you need to show up powerfully and master the mental chatter that keeps you scared and small. Learn how to use Situational Awareness to your advantage and “go grey” intentionally so that no one can dismiss you or your message.
