Speak Up for a Stress-Free Workplace: Psychological Safety Strategies for Executive Women Leaders with Darlene Hawley
As executive women, we’re often expected to lead with strength, navigate pressure with grace, and keep everything running—without ever missing a beat. But behind closed doors, many of us are managing rising stress, unspoken tension, and the weight of being the one others rely on.
In this interactive session, I’m inviting you to hit pause on the performance and get real about what it takes to lead from a place of clarity, presence, and power—without burning out.
We’ll explore how psychological safety isn’t just a team strategy—it’s a leadership advantage. When you create space for real communication, model trust, and lead with your full voice, you not only reduce stress—you create a culture people want to be part of.
Together, we’ll dive into:
✔️ What psychological safety looks like at the executive level
✔️ How stress shows up in leadership and communication (and what to do about it)
✔️ The 5 key components of vocal empowerment for high-stakes leadership
✔️ How to lead harder conversations with more self-trust and less emotional residue
✔️ Practical ways to model communication that builds influence and connection
If you’ve been craving space to lead with less pressure and more power—this session is for you.
This event is open to ALL!
Complimentary for C-Sweet members. Non-member tickets - $49.
