From Conformity to Courage: Embodied Leadership for Women

Jen Aks focuses on embodied leadership – helping people return to the innate wisdom within that has been forgotten. Reconnecting people to this inner power and guidance is the greatest resource we have for helping us lead authentically and design the life we desire and deserve.

Key Takeaways:

  • A tool to access inner wisdom specifically kinesthetic and emotional intelligence.
  • An understanding of why “bodyset” (your physical and emotional state) is the missing partner to mindset, and how to integrate both for lasting transformation
  • A framework that is both comforting and motivating to step into courage and design the life we deserve

Tips and Tricks to Growing and Maintaining Your Social Media Presence

Kelsi Nyman, Creator and Marketer, focuses on these key takeaways:

  • How to get started on social media (IG vs. TikTok)
  • Ways that I have grown my social accounts (viral videos, giveaways, collaborations, consistency, creating a series)
  • How to monetize (affiliate links, paid brand deals)
  • Posting ideas (daily vlog, behind the scenes content, round ups, talking to camera, trending sounds, reviews, opinions, advice, giveaways)
  • What I wish I knew before I started posting (viral moments, follower growth, IRL opportunities, timing, algorithm changes)
