    Today people are accomplishing more than ever – but for every person advancing, many also struggle with believing in themselves, or advocating for their advancement, despite having external success and possessing wildly ambitious goals.

    Based on Velera’s award-winning book You’re Absolutely Worth It, this motivational keynote has helped women and men around the world realize they can operate with greater confidence in their careers and everyday life.

    Change is hard – and it’s more difficult when it’s change you didn’t see coming or want. So how can you navigate uncertainty in such a way that you develop – and thrive • during the “messy middle” and still position yourself to reach your goals?

    In this talk that merges reality with forward thinking, Velera helps your audience “zoom out” and take a moment to make objective assessments about the change they're facing, anchor on what’s important to them, and develop a north star of actionable steps that guide them so they can thrive and achieve their goals during times of uncertainty.
