About this Event

Ready to take that first step but feeling stuck/unsure?

This is your chance to kickstart your journey with a group of like-minded people. This live experience is designed to help you pause, reflect, and take one small but meaningful step toward your personal reinvention.

The Courage to Begin Workshop is a transformational event for people standing at the edge of their next chapter. Featuring thoughtful, engaging speakers who draw on their lived experiences, guided exercises, powerful conversations, and intentional micro-shifts, participants will gain a fresh perspective on their lives.

If you are standing at the edge of your next chapter, or just curious about change, we will show you how to move with purpose, direction, and confidence.

This is not just a workshop. It is a creative reset for who you are becoming.

Here, you will leave with more than motivation.

Here, you will leave with a meaningful micro-shift, a clearer sense of direction, and one intentional next step toward the life you are ready to create.

We'll dive into practical tips, share stories, and build confidence together. You will explore what is holding you back and leave with a clearer sense of courage, direction, and next action.

Come as you are, and let's get started.

The Experience:

• Powerful storytelling
• Guided participant self-inquiry through curated practical worksheets

What You Will Leave With:

About Us

Evolved Becoming Live Events owns the space between inspiration and implementation. We are a transformational live-experience brand that creates bold, experiential workshops designed to spark micro-shifts and move people from inspiration into action. People leave not just inspired, but changed in a tangible way they can carry into real life.

Our Core Belief

Our core belief is that: "Transformation begins with one honest moment, one meaningful shift, and one brave next step."

Our Events are inspired by our coaching practice: Evolved Becoming. Evolved Becoming is a psychologically informed, structured reinvention coaching practice for people who may feel: destined for more, quietly dissatisfied with their current reality, or uncertain about their next chapter. Our work combines psychological insight, practical tools, and a developmental framework to help you move into your next chapter with clarity, direction, purpose, and confidence.

Agenda

🕑: 11:00 AM - 11:15 AM
Opening
Host: Damali Austin

Info: Damali opens the experience with a welcome, intention-setting, breathwork, and a grounding activity, all supported by frequency audio.

Keynote: Turning Setbacks into Strategic Comebacks
Host: Leila Weller

Info: In Turning Setbacks into Strategic Comebacks, Leila Weller shares the insights she gained after navigating an unexpected layoff and intentionally repositioning herself into a new industry. What surprised her most was not the disruption itself; instead, it was how differently people respond to the same event. While some immediately see the possibility, others experience shame, hesitation, or uncertainty.

Activation: The Courage to Begin Worksheet

Info: Participants will be guided through a reflective worksheet to identify what is calling them forward, what may be holding them back, and what courageous next step is available now.

Guided Pause & Reset

Info: A break with light refreshments will be served: a vegetable platter with beverages such as coffee, tea and water.

Keynote: Small Choices, Big Changes
Host: Sainoor Premji

Info: In this talk, Sainoor guides participants through the power of small choices, self-trust, and how micro-shifts can begin to change the direction of what comes next. It’s the everyday, unnoticed decisions that lead to the major changes in our lives; they are the prelude to shifting us. Imagine uncovering the hidden impact of these decisions and harnessing that insight to transform your future. Here, we will explore how understanding these moments can lead to meaningful change.

Integration: Worksheet Revisit & Integration Exercise

Info: Participants return to their worksheet to deepen their insights and identify one practical, grounded action they can take after the event. Sainoor leads a short guided integration experience to help participants anchor the internal shift.

Closing Reflections
Host: Damali Austin

Info: Damali closes the workshop with final reflections, key takeaways, and an invitation for participants to carry their micro-shift forward.
