Changing the world doesn’t require than women become more like men. Rather, it demands that women own and exercise their natural power and unique leadership abilities to influence change through soft strength. In this inspiring keynote delivered at TEDx women, Sandy empowers and emboldens women to take a cue from the lioness, to embrace their strengths and rise up in leadership – to let their ROAR be heard.

• Harness your natural feminine attributes to influence change
• Use failure to fuel your energy
• Velcro to other women to get the support and encouragement you need

Imagine a workplace where every employee brings their whole self to work everyday, and every voice is heard fully and freely. When you create a FearLESS workplace, your team feels safe to speak up, share wild ideas, admit mistakes and use failure as a force for good. This is how you spark innovation, boost team performance and improve business outcomes. Learn how to establish a SpeakUP culture where trust and belonging flourish, inclusion and diversity thrive and employee performance soars.

• Create a culture of truth telling, trust and transparency where every voice is heard
• Explore how to use failure as a force for good and accelerate business growth
• Influence every team member to bring their whole self to work so they add maximum value and have a deep sense of belonging

At a time when many people are thinking small, holding back, hoping and waiting, you can either give in to fear and uncertainty or defy the odds. You can use this complex and uncertain time to accelerate your growth -- become wiser, stronger and become more effective. You can leverage the uncertainty to achieve your next level of success - to spark exponential (XO) growth for yourself and your team.

• Keep up with radical change and disruption
• Step UP and take BOLD action to defy the odds and stay RELEVANT
• Build mental immunity to stay focused and super productive
• Inspire and strengthen others to perform at their next level

These are exciting times for women. We are being urged and encouraged to be BOLD, to rise up and let our voices be heard. But, pandemic burdens are putting our hard fought gains in leadership and pay equity at risk. Through childhood stories observing the lioness in the wild, Sandy Asch puts out a call to all women to transcend the challenges of the COVID world and emerge stronger, wiser, and more successful- to let their ROAR be heard.

• Embrace current circumstances to STEP UP - set yourself up for exponential (XO) growth
• Renew your confidences to SHOW UP fully and unapologetically
• Recommit to SPEAKING UP - let your ROAR be heard and influence change
