LIGHT UP YOUR INNER FIRE – “Confidence to Ignite Performance & Thrive Through Change”

PRESENTATION ABSTRACT:
With the increasingly faster pace and multiple changes women entrepreneurs and professionals from all sectors have had to adapt to, impactful decisions need to continue to be made following
their expertise, skills and knowledge. Although women demonstrate strong leadership on the outside, it happens that, on the inside, reside multiple layers of stress, emotion build-up or negative
self-talk. When people feel confident, calm and resourceful they can rebuild their business to have a greater impact, collaborate and inspire, not only despite of change and fast-pace, but because of it.

Nathalie will provide mind blowing neuroscience in layman’s terms on how the brain works, how some people use their brain wrong and proven strategies to make it work for you.

“If you don’t learn to control your mind, it will control you!”

Get on the driver seat of your business – and your life – so that you can unlock full potential and EXCELerate your success.
