Empowering Workshops
Courage and Confidence Workshop Inside-out
In this 3 hour workshop, we invite you to re-connect with your inner powers and remember who you are and what is your true potential.
Many women do not step up to their dreams, speak up for their projects, or move forward towards their goals, not because they are not skilled or capable but because they are afraid of failure.
Women say they do not act, react or move forward or even step back because they simply do not feel enough; they do not feel enough courage, competency confidence, skilled ability, clever and the list goes on…. It Is time to re-look at that self-image we have created over the years and apply a healthy check of true courage and confidence together.
Ebru is a very experienced brain coach and leader who will guide you through these vital processes. This is a very special individually experiential workshop where you will be introduced to the tools and techniques that will help you to re embrace the courage and the confidence required to succeed.
At the end of the 3 hours, you will have the clarity of your values, strengths, goals, and plans for the next steps.
What will you experience?
– Re-connection to your inner power
– Re-remembering your superpowers
– Learn how the brain works; why you think what you think and why you do what you do?
– Importance of State – How to change it?
– Importance of Values
– Strengths and Goals
– The Ultimate Success Formula

Authentic Leadership: Bringing Yourself and Your Strengths to Work
In this 3 hour workshop, we will explore the role of authenticity in your
professional and personal success. We will look at ways of recognising
and utilising your own strengths and purpose and how to avoid adopting those of others, to create your unique contribution and impact.
Regardless of where we are on our journey, it is natural to observe those we perceive to be successful, popular or effective. We may even attempt to model their behaviour, regardless of whether those behaviours are congruent with our own ways of being. If they are not, we up stressed, our confidence slips and neither we, nor our organisation benefit.
While there are wonderful ‘role models’ across all walks of life, as Oscar Wilde said “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken”.
At the end of the 3 hours, you will begin to accept your unique self and be better able to direct your career journey as you grow in the confidence of being the best you.
What will you learn?
–How to tap into your inner wisdom to identify what is meaningful to you
–How to recognise your strengths
–How to make congruent decisions
–How to learn from others while retaining yourself
–How to find your voice when others are different
–How to celebrate your differences

The Courage and Confidence Mentoring Program is a unique opportunity offered by Prague Training Academy. It is a three-month group mentoring program designed to help participants to continue the impact of the Women Leadership Empowerment Conference and establish long-lasting personal results. We believe that growth and development of individuals can be boosted by being exposed to existing knowledge, skills, and experience of a senior and high performing professional. The main goal of the Courage and Confidence Mentoring Program is to empower women, have them gain courage and confidence and to support them in their life and career path or restarting their careers.
