Time to Shine, Galentines! ✨🪩✨

 Get your sparkles ready—it's time to celebrate YOU at the Heels & Handshakes Galentine's Luncheon! 💖

We are bringing in Guest Speaker: Jasmine Sweet to share with us
The Sweet Life: Unlocking the Power of Self-Love to Transform Relationships and Radiate Joy.

Register👉 here.

In a world that often demands us to put others first, it's easy to lose sight of our own needs and desires. This Valentine’s Day, let’s shift the focus inward and embrace the transformative power of self-love as the foundation for truly meaningful relationships—with ourselves and others.

Join lifestyle blogger, speaker, and entrepreneur Jasmine Sweet as she explores the pillars of living a "Sweet Life." From mastering the art of self-compassion to setting healthy boundaries and fostering intentional connections, Jasmine will inspire you to prioritize your own happiness without guilt. Learn how self-love creates a ripple effect, empowering you to show up as the best version of yourself for the people and communities you care about.

With real-life examples, actionable steps, and Jasmine's signature warmth, this keynote will leave you feeling inspired to cultivate the joy, confidence, and peace you deserve. It’s time to love yourself deeply, share that love unapologetically, and live life to its sweetest potential.

Unlock your potential with Navigating Through Negotiation, an empowering presentation tailored for the dynamic Women of Heels & Handshakes. We will dive into the art and science of negotiation, exploring strategies to overcome gender biases, build confidence, and create win-win outcomes in professional and personal settings.

You'll learn:

• The two main types of negotiation—distributive and integrative—and when to use each.

• Proven techniques such as anchoring, framing, and concession management to influence outcomes.

• Practical preparation tips to refine your tone, body language, and emotional intelligence.

Discover how to assert your value with confidence while fostering collaboration, and leave equipped with actionable tools to secure your goals and transform your career. Whether you’re negotiating a salary, closing a deal, or navigating workplace dynamics, this session will help you break barriers and thrive.

Take your first step toward mastering negotiation—because every woman deserves a seat at the table and the confidence to own it.
