Shelli Manning, Author, Speaker & Victim Advocate
Nearly from birth we are taught to compete and imparted with a set of rules surrounding how we’ll fare in the world, based on factors out of our control like our gender and race. Even if we come from a personal environment of abundance, a lack mindset exists the moment we step out into the world, resulting in minority individuals being offered fewer opportunities, as well as those individuals not advocating as strongly for themselves.
During this workshop you’ll learn how empowering people through the knowledge that opportunities aren’t just for other people and that there’s enough for everyone, can benefit companies as employees strive for more significant goals.

Key Takeaways:
● We’re taught to compete, but there’s actually more than enough for everyone.
● Women and people of color are taught to expect less, therefore accepting less for themselves.
● By empowering employees, companies also benefit through individual achievement.
