In this talk, Fifi shares the framework she built to retrain our inner narrator, learn to defuse the emotions these moments stir up, and decide — deliberately — whether to act. Audiences leave with a repeatable practice, not just a pep talk.
Corporate teams & leadership offsites: A shared language and a practical tool for pressure, change, and tough calls.
Women's groups & networks: Tools to feel it, rewrite the story, and choose your next move on purpose.
Universities & student programs: A framework for the moments no syllabus covers, like setbacks, big choices, and the pressure to have it all figured out.
Associations & conferences: A story-led keynote or breakout that gives every attendee something to use that day.
Not sure if your group is a fit? Tell me about your audience. Every session is tailored to the room.
