Whether delivered in-person or virtually, workshops are immersive, practical, and tailored to your organization’s goals.

Workshops Topics

FROM GREAT TO EXCEPTIONAL: How to Thrive in the Age of AI

The world of work is changing at lightning speed, and “great leadership” is no longer enough to keep up. In this in-depth workshop, participants explore the six pillars of exceptional leadership and learn how to apply them in environments shaped by disruption, uncertainty, and technological change.

While AI can replicate tasks and streamline processes, only leaders can inspire trust, create vision, and cultivate connection—the human qualities that set exceptional leadership apart.

This workshop combines reflection, group dialogue, and scenario-based exercises to help leaders recognize their leadership gaps and build strategies to close them.

Participants practice visibility, influence, and trust-building techniques they can apply the very next day to engage teams and inspire innovation. Each person leaves with a personalized action plan that positions them to rise above “great” and step fully into exceptional leadership, future-proofing their careers and their organizations.

In this workshop, leaders will:

Explore what sets exceptional leadership apart in today’s workplace.
Practice decision-making and trust-building in real-world scenarios.
Create an action plan to elevate their leadership style and inspire their teams.

The Invincible Mindset Lab

Every leader faces setbacks, but not every leader knows how to transform them into stepping stones. This workshop brings the SHIFT framework off the keynote stage and into real-world application. Through guided practice and interactive exercises, participants learn how to see the real problem, harness inner and outer strength, interrupt negative spirals, fuel determination, and trust the timing of their growth.

The session is designed to be both practical and empowering. Leaders work through real challenges they are facing right now—whether it’s team conflict, organizational change, or personal setbacks- and apply the SHIFT framework step by step.

They not only learn the principles but also internalize the habits that will sustain them when pressure is high. By the end of the workshop, participants walk away with a resilience toolkit—a set of mindsets, strategies, and daily practices to stay focused, confident, and effective no matter what comes their way.

In this workshop, leaders will:

Work through the five SHIFT steps using real challenges they face.
Practice techniques to reframe obstacles, reset focus, and fuel determination.
Build a resilience toolkit they can apply immediately to sustain performance and confidence.

SPACE TO LEAD: Unlocking Inner Leadership for Outer Impact

True leadership begins with self-leadership. Yet many professionals struggle with doubt, overwhelm, and blind spots that hold them back from leading with clarity and confidence.

This workshop expands on Carmen’s SPACE™ framework—five powerful steps that help individuals clear the noise, connect with their authentic voice, and unlock the leader within.

Participants are guided through a combination of reflective exercises, peer discussions, and leadership gap mapping to uncover where they may be shrinking, overextending, or holding back their potential. They learn how to step into visibility with confidence, position themselves for influence, and align their leadership with a deeper sense of purpose.

This is not about adding more to their plate; it’s about creating the space within to rise. Each participant leaves with a self-leadership roadmap, equipping them to amplify their voice, expand their impact, and lead with authenticity across every role they hold.

In this workshop, leaders will:

Identify blind spots and self-sabotaging patterns that limit impact.
Practice strategies to strengthen their voice and presence in high-pressure moments.
Leave with a self-leadership roadmap to sustain confidence, clarity, and purpose in every role they hold.
