Speech Topics


The Most Powerful You: Close Your Power Gaps And Reach Your Highest, Most Thrilling Potential

This transformative program is designed expressly for professional women of all levels (and men and women who lead and manage them) who wish to address and close the 7 damaging power gaps that hold a staggering 98% of professional women back today from achieving their highest and most thrilling visions and goals for their work and careers.

Drawing on Kathy’s research and latest book — The Most Powerful You: 7 Bravery-Boosting Paths to Career Bliss (HarperCollins Leadership, 2020) – this power-growth framework has been honed and developed through Kathy’s 16 years of coaching, consulting and leadership training with professionals across 26 countries and 6 continents – and through her work as a senior Forbes contributor, media source and speaker.

Based on her experience as a senior executive in the corporate arena and her years as a marriage and family therapist and career & leadership coach — Kathy’s Power Boost framework and "7 Brave Pathways to Career Bliss" model for change helps professional women around the world access more strength, confidence, influence, authority and impact so they can reach their highest potential and make the positive difference they long to.

In this program, Kathy explores what she has found to be the 7 most prevalent power and confidence gaps women face, where they came from, and offers specific strategies, solutions and tips for closing those gaps once and for all.

These 7 power gaps are:

  • Not Recognizing Your Special Talents, Abilities and Accomplishments
  • Communicating from Fear Not strength
  • Reluctance to Ask for What You Deserve
  • Isolating from Influential Support
  • Acquiescing Instead of Saying STOP! to Mistreatment
  • Losing Sight of Your Thrilling Dream for the Future
  • Allowing Past Trauma or Pain to Define You

In Kathy’s latest survey, 98% of the professional women studied are facing at least one of these power gaps, and over 75% are experiencing 3 or more gaps at the same time. When we have these gaps we simply cannot thrive in our work.

As a successful career-reinventer herself, Kathy knows what it takes to move from “breakdown” to true breakthrough in your career. For audiences that are ready to step up to their highest, most reward potential, and live and work with greater passion, power, and purpose, this is a transformational program.
