Permission to Stand Out
A Women in leadership Retreat
Presented by
Jillian Reilly & Miranda Cloete
Tired of trying to fit in? Feeling stuck in an environment where you’re not growing? Exhausted trying to figure out how you’re supposed to show up to every meeting, conversation, and client so that you’ll be “acceptable”?
Who set the bar at “acceptable”? Who decided how you are “supposed” to lead?
How would you show up if you were totally allowed to be yourself? Opinions, emotions, body and all? Because you are. You’re allowed.
Permission to Stand Out is not only a retreat but a catalyst that will start you off on a journey to overcoming self-doubt and self-limiting beliefs to leverage your female power.
The event: Join us for a two-day facilitated event where we will guide you in discovering your own unique strengths and leadership approach, what is keeping you from showing up authentically, and how to give yourself Permission to Stand Out in both your professional and personal life. You will become part of a community of supportive, like-minded women who will share and learn from each other’s experiences in a nurturing environment.
As part of this Women In Leadership Retreat, you will get:
- A personal Clifton Strengths assessment & report.
- A pre-event coaching session.
- Two-days facilitated reflection, conversation and content.
- The Ten Permissions Advance Content.
- Post-event digital content to support application.
- Accommodation for the 17th at the Ongegund Lodge, Somerset West.
You’ll come away from the experience with:
- A more intentional executive presence and authentic leadership voice.
- Enhanced decision-making through improved self-awareness and deeper understanding of personal strengths.
- Increased confidence in high-stakes situations.
- Heightened awareness of work-life integration.
