What better way to celebrate International Women’s Day 2023 than by stepping into the light and using our voices to Be Heard?
In collaboration with El Living Wellness, our next event will be centered around a special workshop led by Colleen Sullivan Grant, former Facebook executive and seasoned and passionate presenter. In her 90-minute interactive session, she’ll guide us on how to present so people will listen, helping us find the confidence and skills needed to better articulate to groups of any size. Whether you struggle to quickly explain what you do for a living, or want to feel more effective presenting in business meetings, this workshop will give you the tools and practice to be heard.
