TARA MOHR: KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Several years ago, Tara began to see a pattern in her work as a leadership coach: Women with tremendous talent, ideas, and aspirations often didn’t see their own brilliance. Too often, they were sitting on their big ideas rather than sharing them, holding back their most provocative questions rather than asking them.
Mohr began working with women to get at the root of why they were playing small and to discover what practical steps truly helped them to play big. She identified a set of powerful tools, concepts, and daily practices that helped women take big steps forward in their careers and their personal lives. This methodology, which she called “Playing Big”, has been at the core of her growth programs, seminars and keynote speeches around the world.
Her work has seen incredible results, with both women and men applying her principles to themselves and those they manage to achieve positive change.
TESTIMONIALS
“While I trusted that Tara would be insightful and bring value as a presenter, I had no idea how powerful the impact would be to each and every life in the room. As a speaker, Tara is powerful, graceful and engaging. She not only engages the room, but she creates the magic that allows the guests to really connect at a deeper level with themselves. I’m so happy I invited her.”
