Speaking up with Confidence: Self Advocacy in Commercial Real Estate
In this session, we’ll get real about what it takes to speak up with confidence, especially in fast-paced, high-pressure environments. Whether it’s asking for support, pushing back on unrealistic deadlines, or simply making your voice heard, self-advocacy is a skill every woman deserves to have in her toolbox.
This workshop blends real-world scenarios with interactive exercises to help participants:
Recognize what holds them back from speaking up (internally and externally)
Use a simple communication tool to make their message land
Set boundaries and make requests without second-guessing themselves
Leave with practical scripts and mindset shifts they can use right away
It’s a powerful mix of reflection, skill-building, and encouragement…all designed to help women in commercial real estate stand their ground and thrive, without losing themselves in the process.
Sponsorship opportunities available!
