Be Who You Came to Be: Women in The Workforce
The secrets to personal and professional growth, engaged teams and employee retention. As the pandemic erupted in the spring of 2020, roughly 3.5 million mothers with school-age children either lost jobs, took leaves of absence or left the labor market altogether, according to an analysis by the Census Bureau.
A new report, “Women in the Workplace,” by the consulting firm McKinsey & Co. illustrates how the pandemic imposed an especially heavy toll on working women. It found that one in three women over the past year had thought about leaving their jobs or “downshifting” their careers.
Finding balance between career, family and community continues to be a struggle for women in the workforce, especially for working mothers. The COVID19 crisis has illuminated the struggles to prioritize family and career. Challenges in balancing career and family often result in feelings of exhaustion, inadequacy, guilt, and unhappiness.
- Unstuck: Elevate Your Emotional Intelligence to Listen Up, Speak Up, Show Up, and Level Up
The attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs to level up your success and get what you want. Often in our career and life we feel “stuck”. Stuck in a job. Stuck in a relationship. Stuck in fear. Stuck in complacency. Stuck in uncertainty. There is a gap between where we are and what we truly want. It’s not easy to speak up, show up and level up, so we find ourselves playing small, settling for less than what we want and what we deserve. And often we find our self-limiting beliefs causing us to play small.
In “Unstuck”, Tara uncovers the 6 key emotional intelligence traits and characteristics that allow you to listen up, speak up, show up and get what you want. Based on the Bar-On EQ-i model by Reuven Bar-On Tara takes a deep dive into these 6 contrary characteristics that professionals need to deploy to unlock higher levels of success and fulfillment in life. Elevated EQ allows leaders to bridge generation gaps, increase revenue/productivity, and creates a culture for diverse and independent workers and cohesive teams to thrive.
Experience Objectives:
• Ignite your confidence and authenticity to listen up, speak up and show up.
• Deploy simple tactics to be independent and adaptive to fuel your leadership and drive outcomes.
• Discover your unconscious symptoms of being stuck and strategies to get and stay unstuck.
• Develop a system for setting optimistic and realistic goals and expectations for your life.
• Learn how to ignite the perfect balance of empathy and assertiveness to navigate change, conflict and difficult situations.
• Gain clarity on the 6 contrary-complimentary attributes and skills needed to level up your success and fulfillment.
• Understand your self-limiting attitudes, behaviors and beliefs to cause and keep you stuck in areas of your life.
“Unstuck” can be customized for workshops and teams. Tara offers individual and group EQ-assessments that can be combined half-full day workshops. During these workshops Tara takes the audience through a deeper dive into emotional intelligence, team building activities and individual assessments to create lasting and sustainable organizational change. - Be Who You Came to Be: Create, Own & Live the Life You Deserve & Desire Redefine Happiness
Finding our purpose, balancing career and home and living a truly fulfilled life are three priorities for working women. In response to these situations, we ask ourselves many questions, including:
• How do I make an impact?
• How do I find my purpose?
• How do I create sustainable happiness?
• How can I be successful at work and in the home?
• How can I eliminate comparisons and embrace my authenticity?
• How do I become the best version of myself?
• How do I move through fear, take calculated risks and go all in on my life?
• Be Who You Came to Be is a thought-provoking, inspiring, genuine and fresh approach that answers these questions and helps professionals unlock and unleash their purposes in life.
Tara takes a new and refreshing approach to help her audience find purpose and be who they came to be. Through personal experience, stories and research she walks her audience through a three-step process to "be who they came to be". She combines her 20 years of success in corporate and direct sales along with her role as a wife and mother so she can offer her audience an experience and a message that are sincere, motivating, relatable and game changing. - 10 Secrets To Level-Up Your Leadership
Authentic leadership is the key to driving results, making a measurable impact and creating camaraderie.

Communities rally around authentic leaders who are confident in their vision and purpose. But how do leaders empower their teams to grow, change and evolve within an organization?
After spending 2 decades in corporate leadership and leadership in the direct sales industry, Tara Renze developed this workshop to share 10 game-changing leadership secrets she learned along the way. This dynamic workshop is zero fluff, all facts. The 10 Leadership Secrets are enhanced with stories and solutions to take your leaders and their teams to the next level. This workshop includes 3 breakout sessions to give the audience time for self-discovery, collaboration and to develop specific actions to deploy after the conference. - Get Mentally Fit: Positive Intelligence and The Leader You Came to Be
Positive Intelligence (PQ) is a synthesis of recent breakthroughs in neuroscience, technology, cognitive and behavioral psychology, and performance science. The results of this research have been validated by over 500,000 participants in 50 countries. PQ is a measure of the strength of your POSITIVE mental muscles (let’s call them the “Sage” part of your brain) versus your NEGATIVE ones (“Saboteurs”).
The secrets to understanding your positive intelligence, strengthening your mind, eliminating self-doubt, and conquering your saboteurs to create, own and live the life you deserve and desire – at work and in the home. - The Leader You Came to Be: The Secrets to Personal Growth, Engaged Teams & Employee Retention

How are you showing up in your direct sales business? Perception is reality and how we view ourselves and our business directly correlates to our level of success. “Be Who You Came to Be” is a simple yet thought provoking message that gives direct sales professionals the mindset, tools & confidence to take their business to the NEXT LEVEL. Direct sales is one of a few professions in the US that gives individuals the opportunity to TRULY "Be who they came to be." Direct selling allows individuals to align their passions with their profession and design a business and life they love. Flexible entrepreneurship has never been more desired and NEEDED. The 2020 Pandemic shined light on why a flexible and/or additional stream of income is essential for Americans of all ages. The opportunity for direct sales professionals to elevate their success and help others find sustainable happiness and success through the medium have NEVER been more abundant.
