The Me Suite: Become the Greatest Story Ever Told

Our existence is validated through every moment we experience and every lesson we learn in life. While we may not control the workings of life, we can control its quality by recognizing and celebrating our unique accomplishments. At the core of being human is the desire to be acknowledged and understood, yet sometimes we struggle to see ourselves and our worth. This is where our story becomes invaluable. In "The Me Suite", we explore how crafting and sharing our personal narrative can unlock our superpower and elevate our personal brand.

Key Takeaways: 

  • Celebrate your unique accomplishments and experiences to enhance the quality of your life.

Apply for the Life You Want: Building Your Leadership CV with Clarity, Confidence, Value and Visibility

Have you ever felt caught between two dimensions — in a space between no longer and not yet?

  • Do you feel like there is more to life?

  • Do you feel anxious as if you are running out of time?

  • When asked what you want, can you answer or do you have to think about what others want from you first to get to the heart of yourself?

When there is a disconnect between where you are currently and what you desire, an application is required. If you are feeling any of these statement, the life you have now is based on a true story, the one you designed, not the one that’s destined.

Apply for the Life You Want is a keynote address that is explores the four main components needed to align your reality and your dreams.

In this talk, Shereese shares about how she sold her home, picked a city on the map and uprooted her whole life with 20 boxes, a broken heart and a dream of meeting herself.

The Power Within: Women, Stop Auditioning for Your Value

Women make up the majority of the population and earn the majority of undergraduate, master's, law, and medical degrees. However, they still lag behind in leadership positions and remain underrepresented in decision-making roles, where they have the power to shape not only their own lives but also the destiny of society.

This talk explores how women have been historically and oppressively managed, told what to do, think, and be, and how internalized narratives of not being good enough and having no value or needing permission to be seen and heard have affected their productivity and ownership of work. It offers a roadmap for women to overcome these challenges and find the power within themselves to recognize their own worth and value.

In this talk, Shereese shares the story of how she was told by a female leader, when she asked for a raise, that her salary was already “high” and what steps she took to champion herself. The Power Within is a journey on why women need to build a thought leadership platform so they can get paid for ideas not your labor.

Key Takeaways: 

  • Understand the challenges women face in the workplace and in their personal lives, including being undervalued, underrepresented, and plagued with self-doubt.

  • Discover why breaking the glass ceiling is not the goal — it’s breaking the whole damn box.

  • Learn why thought leadership has emerged as a viable option for women to own their narratives.

  • Gain insights into the three stories that hold women back and you can master them.
