    • Your Leadership Identity & Voice
       Reflect on personal values, strengths, and leadership messages. Explore common challenges women face in visibility, voice, and presence.
    • Challenging Internal Barriers
       Identify and reframe narratives around imposter syndrome, perfectionism, fear of judgement, and “not ready yet” thinking.

       Practice voice, posture, pace, and clarity. Explore techniques for assertiveness without aggression—especially in male-dominated or mixed-power environments.
