Self-Acceptance in Leadership

About this session

WFOC are often not seen or sought out as leaders because they don’t look or act a certain way. Jolie is here to dismantle the ideas of patriarchal and capitalist thinking and offer guidance for WFOC who are eager to tap into their personal values to become confident and impactful in their leadership. By honoring our stories, we can envision a revolutionary future for the next generations.

In this chat you’ll learn:

  • Guidelines to tap into personal values and become confident in your leadership
  • Tools to navigate different seasons of life and find a place of enoughness in yourself
  • How to use storytelling as a tool to leverage your past and envision your future life
