KEYNOTES & WORKSHOPS

Confidence

Confidence is a Practice, not a Personality Trait.

It’s more common than not, people get stuck in their heads listening to doubt. Second guess themselves. Aren’t sure they’re making the right decisions... constantly lost in this cycle of doubt. I get it, I’ve been there too. After hearing Priya speak, audience members will discover they (and everyone!) can live a life filled with confidence through having the ability to listen to their inner confidence voice rather than their inner doubt voice. They will realize confidence is a choice that will change their leadership style by creating an environment where confidence is a key priority, every single day. This speech is created for organizations and teams who are ready to create a culture of confidence. Who want their leaders to lead boldly. For professions where confidence MATTERS.

From Contacts to Collaborators: Strategic Network Utilization for Nonprofit Leaders

Have you ever thought that a single contact in your phone may be the key to unlocking your next level of success? Nonprofit work is built on relationships… yet many people underutilize the very networks that could strengthen their mission, expand capacity, and drive profitable results. This session helps people reframe networking as a human-centered, values-aligned practice, rather than a transactional or uncomfortable task.  Grounded in psychological theory, this session addresses one of the most common barriers: the guilt and fear around “using” one’s network. Attendees will explore why leaning on others is not only acceptable, but humanly essential.
