Program Topic: From Conformity to Courage: Embodied Leadership for Women

Jen Aks, TEDx Speaker, Author, Leadership Coach & Founder of The Power of Gesture®

Plus Member Spotlight: stay tuned

Jen Aks focuses on embodied leadership - helping people return to the innate wisdom within that has been forgotten. Reconnecting people to this inner power and guidance is the greatest resource we have for helping us lead authentically and design the life we desire and deserve.

Key Takeaways:

• A tool to access inner wisdom specifically kinesthetic and emotional intelligence.
• An understanding of why "bodyset" (your physical and emotional state) is the missing partner to mindset, and how to integrate both for lasting transformation
• A framework that is both comforting and motivating to step into courage and design the life we deserve

ABOUT OUR SPEAKER:

Jen Aks is a TEDx speaker, author, and leadership coach who helps people reconnect with their body's wisdom to unlock powerful, authentic leadership. On August 16, 2025, she delivered her TEDx talk Your Body's Hidden Intelligence: From Mindset to Bodyset, introducing a revolutionary concept that challenges decades of mindset-focused approaches. Her debut book Your Body is Speaking launched on September 30, 2025, and became a #1 bestseller in the self-help category. Jen guides leaders—from CEOs and executives to parents and educators—to lead with clarity and confidence by trusting their body's intelligence. Her areas of expertise include embodied leadership, somatic intelligence, helping people find their authentic voice and communicate it with authority.

About The Entrepreneurial Women’s Collective (EWC)

The Entrepreneurial Women’s Collective was born in 2015 as a way to offer meaningful networking and professional development to women business owners. Since that time, the EWC network has expanded, special friendships have formed and business has happened, all while learning from some pretty amazing speakers. EWC's mission is to bring smart, supportive women together and watch the magic happen.

When we ask the members what they like best, the #1 answer is “the women in the room”. Words like high quality, warm, welcoming, willing to help one another are heard over and over again. Go to HAYVN.com/EWC to become a member.
