The Storytelling Edge
How to let the world know about your superpowers without bragging.
You're brilliant, driven, and full of stories that show just how capable you are. But if no one knows about your talents, how will they know to send you on the international assignment, ask you to lead the project, or invite you to speak?
Research highlighted in the Financial Times shows many women hesitate to share their achievements for fear of seeming boastful and as a result, lose out on opportunities. The best way to effectively slip in all your wins is to weave them into a concise, engaging story.
Not the “once upon a time” kind.
The “last week I closed a deal under pressure and didn’t lose my cool” kind.
The “I got up on stage at THE bEAR and felt powerful” kind.
The “here’s how I turned a stuck team into a motivated one” kind.
In this Friday night workshop-meets-community, you’ll learn how to:
Talk about your strengths without sounding like you’re bragging
Choose stories that showcase your power and purpose
Build confidence speaking in a fun, supportive space (optional stage!)
Leave with more clarity, more confidence… and maybe a new friend
This workshop is for women who want to:
→ Step into more visible roles
→ Build trust and credibility with teams, clients, and decision-makers
→ Position themselves for the opportunities they deserve
→ Tap into the power of real human connection in a world increasingly run by AI
Whether you're working in a male-dominated office, vying for a leadership role, or simply tired of being overlooked and underestimated, well, we understand. And this session gives you the tools to change the narrative… literally.
🍷 It’s Friday night. You could stay home and scroll. 📲
Or … come tell the story that might change how people see you.
