Grace Under Fire + Embodied Leadership

You’re smart.
You’re capable.
But when it’s your turn to speak? Your body tightens. Your voice shakes. Your mind blanks.
And afterwards, the regret kicks in:
“I should’ve said something.”
“I didn’t sound like myself.”
“I played small. Again.”

Let’s change that.

On July 19, join us for Grace Under Fire + Embodied Leadership — a full-day workshop designed to help you speak with clarity, confidence, and presence — especially when it counts.

This isn’t a speaker bootcamp or another “how to sound more polished” workshop.
It’s a reset. A rewire. A full-body, full-voice recalibration.

🔥 Morning Session: Grace Under Fire (10AM–1PM)

How to Think on Your Feet & Speak Under Pressure — Without Sounding Like a Robot

Learn how to stay grounded and sharp when the heat’s on. Through dynamic, low-pressure improv exercises, you’ll practise speaking in real time, even when your brain wants to run.

✅ Stay composed when caught off guard
✅ Respond without rambling or retreating
✅ Speak from your gut — not a script

🌿 Afternoon Session: Embodied Leadership (2PM–5PM)

Command the Room Without Saying a Word

Before you speak, people decide whether they trust you. In this session, you’ll train your body to speak confidence — so your message hits before your words do.

✅ Use posture, breath, and movement to amplify presence
✅ Ditch stiff body language and let your presence do the heavy lifting
✅ Align what you say with how you show up

🎯 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
