The Authentic Edge
What would change if you stopped trying to manage how people perceive you, and started trusting who you really are?
Please join us on Monday, July 7th for a day-long workshop called The Authentic Edge.
Connect with a small group—leaders, coaches, and change-makers—to explore what it actually means to show up more fully at work and at home.
We’ll start with a simple question: what does authenticity mean to you, and how do you know when it’s there? You’ll spend time in meaningful discussions about what helps us be ourselves … and what gets in the way.
We’ll explore things like emotional self-awareness, body language, how to stay steady in uncomfortable conversations, and how to speak more directly without losing connection. You’ll have time to reflect on your own patterns and habits, and you’ll get to test drive proven tools that support more grounded, honest communication.
