We are excited Brenda Reiss will be our April Spotlight speaker
Brenda Reiss is a Forgiveness and Emotional Freedom Coach, keynote speaker, 2-time author, and host of the Forgive Yourself podcast. Through a compassionate and practical approach, she helps people release self-doubt, navigate difficult emotions, and build stronger relationships. Drawing from her own journey of transformation, Brenda guides individuals to develop greater clarity, confidence, and self-trust in both their personal and professional lives.
You already know more than you think you do—but second-guessing, overthinking, and hesitation often get in the way. In this engaging talk, Brenda Reiss reveals how self-trust impacts every business decision and conversation—and why even successful professionals learn to override their instincts. You’ll leave with a simple, practical way to trust yourself sooner, communicate more clearly, and stop wasting time in indecision.
From Second-Guessing to Self-Trust:
- Spot where you’re second-guessing yourself—and understand why.
- See the real cost of overthinking, hesitation, and avoiding conversations.
- Walk away with a simple way to trust your gut and make clearer decisions.
- Communicate more clearly by trusting what you already know.
