Bold Conversations:
How to Say What Matters & Lead with Strength
Some of the boldest leadership moments happen during the conversations we would rather avoid. Whether its giving feedback, setting boundaries, or speaking up when the stakes are high, these moments define our influence and impact. This luncheon offers a practical framework for navigating crucial conversations with clarity and confidence, while introducing how modern tools can quietly strengthen preparation, perspective, and presence. It is designed to inspire women to own their voice and lead with conviction when it matters most.
