Double Down on Your Genius

In a world where conformity often overshadows individuality, unlocking and embracing one's unique genius is crucial for living a life of impact and fulfillment. This keynote is a powerful call to action for entrepreneurs, creatives, and purpose-driven leaders who are ready to step into their full potential.

Drawing from the transformative insights of her bestselling book, Double Down on Your Genius, Willo Sana will guide audience members through the essential steps needed to heal, create, and grow using her signature Embodied Leadership Framework™.

Audience members will learn how to break free from the constraints of fear, doubt, and societal expectations to fully embrace their innate talents and passions. With actionable strategies and inspirational insights, they'll discover how to navigate the "learning edges" that challenge growth, move beyond comfort zones, and step boldly into their Zone of Genius—where work becomes effortless and deeply rewarding.

Whether at a crossroads in their career, seeking to elevate their business, or simply yearning for a more authentic life, audience members will leave equipped with the tools and mindset needed to double down on their genius and create the aligned, impactful life they are meant to lead.

Now is the time!

 

Being Seen Online: Healing for Vulnerability & Visibility

When putting yourself out there online—whether creating content, preparing for launches, or crafting sales pages—many highly sensitive, heart-centered entrepreneurs struggle to fully stand in their value and power. This often stems from mental scripts running in the background, such as the inner critic or "imposter syndrome," convincing you that you’re “not good enough” or fueling fears that keep you playing small and hiding your true potential.

In this talk, we will explore how to reframe visibility, allowing you to move past these limiting beliefs and heal the wounds that make you fearful of being seen. I’ll share practical strategies to help you get out of your own way, connect with your audience authentically, and confidently share your gifts with the world.

This session is designed to create a powerful shift within your audience, fostering greater self-compassion and leaving them feeling more excited and ready than ever before to unapologetically share their brilliance. It’s time to honor what you already know, trust in your unique gifts, and step into the visibility you deserve.

Your gift is within you, just waiting to be shared. Let’s make sure you feel empowered, clear, and confident in your own brilliance!

Alignment for Next-Level Growth & Expansion

Are your audience members purpose-driven leaders on the precipice of their next level?

They have a calling, big ideas, and a vision, but they may not be quite sure what their next move is and could feel a little paralyzed by the unknown.

We've all been there (yes, me too!), and the most important thing is not to continue playing small or getting sidelined by fears... because there's important work to be done!

However, doing more isn't always the answer. We've been taught to work harder, but often the true invitation is to engage in transformational inner work that enables us to show up more effectively.

In this talk, audience members will be introduced to The Alignment Trifecta™, a clear map for embodied leadership. This framework will help them identify where they might be out of alignment, what needs their attention, and the specific steps needed to re-align and boldly move forward, creating the life and business they desire.

Insourcing vs Outsourcing: Cultivating & Strengthening Embodied Leadership

Outsourcing is essential for scaling a business, but there’s a deeper form of outsourcing that often goes unnoticed—one where individuals seek solutions, permission, or approval outside of themselves. This tendency, rooted in unconscious limiting beliefs, can hinder true leadership and personal growth.

In this talk, we will explore how these outward-looking habits stem from disconnects within ourselves, causing distraction and derailment. By focusing on the principles of Embodied Leadership, this session will help attendees recognize and shift these patterns. Attendees will gain practical tools to strengthen their relationship with themselves, empowering them to lead with authenticity and move more confidently toward their goals.

This talk will also help attendees unlock the key to sourcing, strengthening, and standing up on behalf of their unique voice, power, and truth. It is an invitation to cultivate an inner alignment that drives external success, ensuring they navigate their personal and professional journeys with clarity, commitment, and integrity.

To further integrate what they’re learning, attendees will receive a Self-Reflection Companion Workbook—an invaluable tool for self-inquiry and reflection. This will guide them through exercises that reveal transformational a-ha moments, catalyzing the shift needed to fully embody their leadership potential.
