Learn the Harvard-backed science of authenticity. Understand what it truly means to be your authentic self and how to express it in a way that drives connection and success. Gain the single most effective skill to boost confidence and silence inner doubts, overthinking, anxiety, and rumination. Learn how to stay authentic and connected during conflict. This workshop will empower you to show up as your true self in every interaction, fostering lasting connections and authenticity that can transform your life.

Workshop 3
Title: Breaking Through Your Shadow

In this final workshop with Justin Michael Williams, you will identify and release the self- sabotaging habits that are holding you back from transforming fully into who you want to become.
