Women in leadership face a reality rarely discussed in empowerment talks: while managing your actual job, you're also constantly monitoring reactions, managing perceptions, and navigating double standards. Your nervous system is working overtime. This isn't about confidence or mindset—it's about neuroscience. When your body perceives threat (even subtle, constant threat), it fundamentally changes how you lead: your thinking narrows, creativity disappears, and you can't access your best judgment.
Join us for a talk that goes beyond the usual advice to explore:
How to distinguish between growth discomfort and genuine threat
Why the "push through" narrative is gaslighting your body's wisdom
What becomes possible when you lead from safety instead of survival
