Keynote Presentation: Overcoming Inner Barriers & Affirming Our Power
Join Aarti Shahani, bestselling author, award-winning journalist, and podcaster, as she speaks to the challenges women face in leadership— particularly the internal struggles that hold us back from embracing our brilliance. She’ll explore how the “psychotic inner prosecutor” often sabotages our success and how we can reframe that energy to fuel confidence, collaboration, and collective growth.
