INTERVIEWING WITH CONFIDENCE - an Interactive Workshop!


About the Workshop

A transformative in-person workshop that combines powerful interview storytelling techniques with mindfulness practices for effective public speaking. Participants will learn how to craft compelling personal narratives while developing the mental presence needed to deliver them confidently.

You've thought long and hard about where you want to work next. You've zeroed in and found the place. You believe in their mission and are confident it could be a great fit.

You've networked, you've submitted your resume, and finally—you get the interview!

And then reality hits. The stakes feel enormous. Your mind starts racing with what-ifs.


Do you find yourself thinking:

“I don’t feel comfortable talking about myself.”

“I don’t like bragging."

"I don’t know what to say."

“I’m going to blow it!”

Most people stumble here —not because they lack qualifications, but because they haven't learned to harness their stories and calm their nerves. This workshop addresses exactly that.


Introducing the INTERVIEWING WITH CONFIDENCE, an Interactive Workshop!

During this two-hour workshop, you'll learn how to confidently respond to “Tell me about yourself” without sounding like a nervous robot so you can move through the rounds of interviews and land your next job.


In this 2-hour workshop, you'll learn:

Strategic Interview Preparation - to develop empowering strategies that help you approach interviews that feel like conversations rather than interrogations.

The Art of Interview Storytelling - which types of stories resonate with hiring managers. You'll also discover how story frameworks serve different interview questions.

Compelling Story Delivery - How to structure and tell your stories so they're engaging and memorable to give interviewers genuine insight into who you are.

Confident Presence Under Pressure - Practical mindfulness techniques to center yourself before and during interviews. You'll learn how to manage nerves, stay present when questions catch you off guard, and project authentic confidence even when your heart is racing.


LIMITED TO 14 PARTICIPANTS.
