About the Conference
In the last few years, The Confidence Talk has served as a gathering place for women leaders from all industries and stages of their career. These gatherings have evolved from virtual cohorts, to live workshops, and for the last 3 years, to a full-day retreat. This year, we're creating the largest space yet with The Confidence Talk Women's Leadership Conference.
The Confidence Talk Women’s Leadership Conference is a high-impact leadership experience designed for women who are ready to command their careers as they navigate growth, transition, and increasing responsibility. Whether you are navigating the C-Suite, scaling your own business, or preparing for your first leadership pivot, this day is designed to move you from capable to unstoppable.
Refined through three years of highly successful leadership retreats, and grounded in The Confidence Talk: I SAID SOAR, the conference is built on a proven approach that balances depth, rigor, and meaningful connection. Participants engage in focused learning, peer exchange, and facilitated conversations designed to support leaders as they navigate complexity, advocate effectively, and lead with clarity and confidence.
This immersive, reflective, and practical conference is designed to meet women where they are and equip them for what comes next.
