What Does It Mean to be Empowered?

What does it truly mean to be empowered? This talk explores the stories we tell about power, and how those narratives can clash with authentic empowerment. Without a grounded sense of genuine power, it’s easy to get swept up in performative ideas about how to look powerful rather than how to be powerful. Are you chasing the appearance of power, or cultivating the real thing? Understanding this difference can ignite both imagination and self-worth, transforming how we live and work.

Attendees will gain:

Insight into how to align their talents with an authentic sense of self
The ability to recognize and rise above external “shoulds” in favor of genuine joy
Tools for connecting with others through collaboration rather than competition
A deeper understanding of the "why" behind their passions and creative energy
Confidence to trust their value and contribution
Inspiration to chart a personalized path to success in both personal and professional life
