3.Builds momentum within the team to want to be increasingly more collaborative, innovative and impactful and to exceed their goals in meaning ways.

- concrete tools for how to the role model ideal attitudes and actions
- inspiration for bringing their people on board in a fresh, effective way.

Transformative Leadership: Elevating Your Voice & Influence

Empowerment and self-advocacy seem to be buzzwords we hear a lot about. And for many of us, they may have seemed like an elusive trait to get ahold of. Perhaps we see a few leaders do a good job of empowering others and themselves and we might tell ourselves that that’s not something we are cut out for. But that’s not true! We all have agency to own our power in elegant ways to make our voices heard and to create impact for ourselves and others. In this workshop, you will learn how to do so authentically.

Some key takeaways the audience can expect:

1. A true change in our behavior first comes from a shift in our mindset.
2. Our values, needs, thoughts & feelings make up our mindsets.
3. The more we become aware of our mindset, the more we can shift it toward greater results.
4. Self-advocacy and empowerment are values.
5. The way we live these values depends on how we define each of them.
6. Broadening our definition of them may unlock greater possibilities for us.

Empowering Ourselves and Others to Achieve Balance & Success

Have you ever wondered why some people (especially the men!) seem to move up the ladder so quickly?

Do you struggle to get your voice heard – and respected – in meetings?

How often do you find yourself saying “yes” far too often, to the detriment of balance and your personal well being?

Then this workshop is for you. By participating, you will gain clearer understanding of what:

- self-advocacy means specifically for us as individuals
the potential (inner and outer) road-blocks we encounter in this process might be and key methods for overcoming these road-blocks
- Concrete tools for empowering others and building relationships while setting boundaries with and for ourselves.

The Hero's Journey: How to Use Challenging Times to Catapult Yourself Forward

There's no question that today's economic and political climate takes us toll on us collectively and as individuals. Such a landscape can get the best of us down, leading to declines in our productivity and impact. Even if unintentionally, our businesses suffer, too.

So how can we use the darker times to create even more light (productivity, innovation, impact)?

This program will show you how.

In it, participants will walk away with:

1. An alternate, more transformational, perspective of what their challenging times might mean
2. Practical tips on getting through such times with greater ease and grace
3. A concrete action plan for turning their "upsets" into "set-ups" for greater success

"Inspirational and calming, Colleen has an exceptional ability to foster openness and the willingness to share in her environment. She understands that creating psychological safety is a key component to being yourself, to sharing and exploring your roots and your fears before being able to move forward and understand the power of self-advocacy. I thoroughly enjoy hearing Colleen present."
