Kathy Caprino Speaking Topics

  • The Most Confident You: Close Your Power Gaps And Reach Your Highest, Most Thrilling Potential and Impact

    This transformative program is designed expressly for professional women of all levels (and men who experience these gaps as well) who wish to address and close what Kathy Caprino’s research has shown are the 7 damaging power and confidence gaps that negatively impact a staggering 98% of professional women and 90% of men today, keeping them from achieving their highest and most rewarding and important visions and goals for their work and careers.

    Drawing on Kathy’s research and latest book — "The Most Powerful You: 7 Bravery-Boosting Paths to Career Bliss" – this power-growth framework has been honed and developed through Kathy’s 18 years of coaching, consulting and leadership training with professionals across 26 countries and 6 continents – and through her work as a senior Forbes contributor, media source, Top LinkedIn voice, and speaker.

    Based on her experience as a senior executive in the corporate arena and her years as a marriage and family therapist and career & leadership coach — Kathy’s Power Boost framework and "7 Brave Pathways to Career Bliss" model for change helps professional women around the world access more strength, confidence, influence, authority, support and impact so they can build fulfilling and meaningful careers of impact and significance and make the positive difference they long to.

    In this program, Kathy shares the 7 most prevalent power and confidence gaps professionals face today, where they came from, and offers specific strategies, solutions and tips for closing those gaps once so professionals can breakthrough to a new level of performance and reward.

    These 7 power gaps are:

    • Not Recognizing Your Special Talents, Abilities and Accomplishments
    • Communicating from Fear Not strength
    • Reluctance to Ask for What You Deserve
    • Isolating from Influential Support
    • Acquiescing Instead of Saying STOP! to Mistreatment
    • Losing Sight of Your Thrilling Dream for the Future
    • Allowing Past Trauma or Pain to Define You

    In Kathy’s latest survey, 98% of the professional women and 90% of men studied are facing at least one of these power gaps, and over 75% are experiencing 3 or more gaps at the same time. When we face multiple gaps, our ability to thrive professionals is deeply impacted.

    As a successful career-reinventer herself, Kathy knows what it takes to move from “breakdown” to true breakthrough in your career. For audiences that are ready to step up to their highest, most reward potential, and live and work with greater passion, power, and purpose, this is a transformational and deeply motivating program.
