PROGRAM/KEYNOTE
Own Your Awesome: Accelerate Action Through Self-Leadership
INTENDED AUDIENCE: Professionals at all levels
According to leading research on women in the workplace from McKinsey & Company and LeanIn.Org, barriers such as the "Glass Ceiling" and "Broken Rung" continue to block women's advancement into leadership roles.
However, beyond these structural challenges, we must also acknowledge the mental load, burnout, and lack of personal well-being that keep women from stepping fully into their power.
After 15 years as a Director in Human Resources and Higher Education, Miranda VonFricken, author of Own Your Awesome!, saw this firsthand. Women were leaving lucrative roles—not due to a lack of ambition, but a lack of support, clarity, and fulfillment.
As a solution, she created "Own Your Awesome!"—a high-energy, transformative personal development program focused on self-leadership that increases engagement, performance, and momentum in the workplace. It has since become a catalyst for inspiring action and accelerating success for all who participate.
Why Self-Leadership? Why Now?
The theme for this year’s International Women’s Day, "Accelerate Action," is a call to move beyond awareness and into bold implementation. While external support is crucial, the most powerful catalyst for action is internal – and that’s where self-leadership comes in.
Self-leadership is the foundation of women's advancement.
It is the key to:
- Setting clear intentions for career growth, leadership, and impact
- Taking ownership of actions and decisions to create real progress
- Mastering personal energy to stay motivated, focused, and resilient
- Building confidence to step into leadership, take risks, and advocate for oneself
