Authentic leadership is the key to driving results, making a measurable impact and creating camaraderie. Authentic leaders are self-actualized individuals who are aware of their strengths, their limitations, and their emotions.
They also display their real selves to their followers. Communities rally around authentic leaders who are confident in their vision and purpose. But how do leaders empower their teams to grow, change and evolve within an organization?
After spending 2 decades in corporate leadership and leadership in the direct sales industry, Tara Renze developed this workshop to share 10 game-changing leadership secrets she learned along the way.
This dynamic workshop is zero fluff, all facts. The 10 Leadership Secrets are enhanced with stories and solutions to take your leaders and their teams to the next level. This workshop includes 3 breakout sessions to give the audience time for self-discovery, collaboration and to develop specific actions to deploy after the conference.
Positive Intelligence (PQ) is a synthesis of recent breakthroughs in neuroscience, technology, cognitive and behavioral psychology, and performance science. The results of this research have been validated by over 500,000 participants in 50 countries. PQ is a measure of the strength of your POSITIVE mental muscles (let’s call them the “Sage” part of your brain) versus your NEGATIVE ones (“Saboteurs”).
The secrets to understanding your positive intelligence, strengthening your mind, eliminating self-doubt, and conquering your saboteurs to create, own and live the life you deserve and desire – at work and in the home.
Increasing your mental and emotional fitness leads to less stress and more satisfaction. “Mental Fitness” is defined as your ability to understand that you are not your thoughts and that you can achieve a consistent and positive frame of mind.
Strengthening your Positive Intelligence (PQ) will allow you to become the authentic leader you came to be.

Elevate your Emotional Intelligence to listen up, speak up, show up, and level up. The attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs to level up your success and get what you want.
Often in our career and life we feel “stuck”. Stuck in a job. Stuck in a relationship. Stuck in fear. Stuck in complacency. Stuck in uncertainty. There is a gap between where we are and what we truly want. It’s not easy to speak up, show up and level up, so we find ourselves playing small, settling for less than what we want and what we deserve. And often we find our self-limiting beliefs causing us to play small.
In “Unstuck”, Tara uncovers the 6 key emotional intelligence traits and characteristics that allow you to listen up, speak up, show up and get what you want. Based on the Bar-On EQ-i model by Reuven Bar-On Tara takes a deep dive into these 6 contrary characteristics that professionals need to deploy to unlock higher levels of success and fulfillment in life. Elevated EQ allows leaders to bridge generation gaps, increase revenue/productivity, and creates a culture for diverse and independent workers and cohesive teams to thrive.
Experience Objectives:
Ignite your confidence and authenticity to listen up, speak up and show up.
Deploy simple tactics to be independent and adaptive to fuel your leadership and drive outcomes.
Discover your unconscious symptoms of being stuck and strategies to get and stay unstuck.
Develop a system for setting optimistic and realistic goals and expectations for your life.

Understand your self-limiting attitudes, behaviors and beliefs to cause and keep you stuck in areas of your life.
“Unstuck” can be customized for workshops and teams. Tara offers individual and group EQ-i assessments that can be combined, half-full day workshops.
