SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Embodied Personal Power for Women Business Owners
DESCRIPTION:This event has been cancelled. We will reschedule it for a later date in 2026. Stay tuned!\nEmbodied Personal Power for Women Business Owners\n \n\n\nBuilding a business proves your capability\, but sustaining leadership\, making bold decisions\, and showing up powerfully as the face of your brand requires embodied power. Research in embodied cognition shows that what we wear and how we present ourselves directly influences how we think\, decide\, and lead. At the same time\, leadership research highlights that true visibility comes from values alignment\, strong boundaries\, and grounded self-trust. \nIn this session\, Katty introduces a research-informed framework based on four Image Needs: Alignment\, Authority\, Safety\, and Expression—designed for women business owners. \nParticipants will learn how to use personal image as a tool to reduce overthinking\, strengthen decisiveness\, and reinforce leadership presence in high-stakes moments like sales conversations\, visibility opportunities\, and scaling decisions. This is not about appearance; it’s about using image as a system to lead with clarity\, confidence\, and authenticity. \nThree Key Takeaways\nThis presentation will help you be better prepared for your next challenge or high-stakes conversation. You’ll learn: \n\nhow to intentionally use what you wear to reduce hesitation\, anchor confidence\, and make faster\, clearer decisions in your business.\nto identify the gap between your presentation and your values\, and learn how to start closing it to reduce cognitive dissonance.\nthe basics to build a repeatable way to show up that reinforces authority\, protects your boundaries\, and supports visibility—without performing or overthinking.\n\nThis is a virtual event. \nMembers: FREE \nNonMembers: $15.00 \n
