Reclaiming Voice, Clarity, and Leadership Presence with Nada Kanaan

Most of us hold back more than we intend to. We worry about being misunderstood, overlooked, or unsure how to navigate high-pressure moments in our careers. This workshop helps you understand the physiology behind ease, courage, and self-expression, because when your body feels safe, you show up more fully and more authentically. Led by Nada Kanaan, a somatic resilience trainer and former Fortune 100 leader who spent two decades guiding product teams at Capital One, SAP/SuccessFactors, and Stride, this is a practical, research-supported session that teaches you how to shift your physiological state under pressure so you can communicate with confidence, collaborate effectively, and stay connected to your values in any conversation. You'll learn two of Nada's signature tools: SHIFT, a drawing method that surfaces early-formed beliefs and patterns that show up in everyday moments, especially under pressure, and BAM, a somatic reset that helps you interrupt reactive loops and return to clarity in real time. By the end of this session, you'll walk away with:✦ A clearer understanding of how your body signals pressure, hesitation, and safety — and how that shapes your communication and presence✦ Practical tools to shift from tension or self-silencing into steadiness and grounded expression✦ A stronger ability to speak up, set limits, and share ideas without overthinking or shrinking✦ Awareness of the unconscious beliefs that quietly influence how you show up under pressure✦ The BAM technique to regulate your nervous system in real time This training is fast-paced, experiential, and designed for immediate application.
