Talks/Workshops

Step into Courage

How do you move from fear to courage? Often in life, we are paralyzed by fear, self-doubt, and limiting beliefs. These are barriers that hold us back from living a fuller, more purpose-filled life.

In this insightful presentation, Carla shares personal stories of her own experience with fear which held her back from her dream of becoming a bodybuilder. She takes you on a journey of self-discovery, empowering you to realize what is truly possible for you when you break free from fear and step into your courage.

You will be entertained, inspired, but most of all you will gain greater clarity for your own way forward and the confidence to make it happen.

From Dream to Action to Success

What does it take to turn dreams into reality? Many of us go through life wishing and hoping but never acting on those things we know we ought to do in order to move forward and experience success. We keep our dreams locked in our hearts.

In this thought-provoking presentation, Carla shares her personal life experience that kept her from her dream for ten long years. She provides valuable insight into how to propel our lives forward through decisive action and experience the success we are all capable of.

Her positive energy will uplift you and help motivate you to set a plan in motion that will melt away your obstacles and strengthen your resolve to reach for your dreams and realize your true purpose.
