GRACE UNDER FIRE + EMBODIED LEADERSHIP
Speak with clarity, confidence, and presence — especially when it counts.
You’re smart. Capable. Respected.
But when it’s your turn to speak?
Your throat tightens. Your voice betrays you.
And afterwards — that familiar punch of regret:
“I should’ve said something.”“I didn’t sound like myself.”
“I played small. Again.”
Let’s change that.
🎯 This full-day workshop is designed to help you:
- Think clearly under pressure
- Speak with power and presence
- Command the room — without saying a word
🔥 MORNING: Grace Under Fire (10AM–1PM)
Think on Your Feet — Without Sounding Like a Robot
Low-stakes improv. High-impact results.
✅ Respond under pressure without freezing or rambling
✅ Stay grounded when caught off guard
✅ Speak from instinct — not overthinking
🌿 AFTERNOON: Embodied Leadership (2PM–5PM)
Lead With Presence Before You Say a Word
Your body speaks. Make it say the right thing.
✅ Use posture, breath, and movement to project confidence
✅ Align your physical presence with your message
✅ Make people feel you — before you even speak
💥 WHO THIS IS FOR:
- Leaders who still feel invisible in high-stakes rooms
- Professionals tired of overexplaining and overcompensating
- People who want to stop shrinking — and start showing up
No fluff. No theory dumps. Just tools, truth, and transformation.
🍷 Includes coffee, tea break, and lunch🔘 Reserve your spot — stop shrinking and start showing up.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. You don’t need a title to lead — you just need a voice. If you’re ready to show up more confidently in rooms that matter, this is for you.
We’ve designed this as a safe, supportive, and small-group environment (max 12 people). No one gets put on the spot. You’ll be gently stretched — not shoved into the spotlight.
Nope. Everything is guided, and you’ll be surprised how fast you learn by doing. This isn’t about performing — it’s about being present and real.
Yes. You’ll leave with practical tools you can apply immediately — in meetings, pitches, presentations, or anytime you need to show up with confidence and clarity.
This is designed as a full-day experience — both sessions build on each other. If you can’t stay the whole time, we recommend joining the next round when you can commit fully.
Tickets are non-refundable, but they are transferable. If something comes up, you can gift or transfer your seat to a friend or colleague — just let us know in advance.
An open mind, a notebook, and clothes you can move comfortably in. That’s it. We’ll bring the energy, exercises, and transformation.
