Women Connect: Breaking Free from F.E.A.R. to Expand on Your Dream

Speaker: Dr. Minina Johnson, PMP, CSM, CDP

Description:

Fear often disguises itself as practicality: Maybe I need more experience. Maybe I should wait. Maybe I’m not ready yet. For high-achieving women, those thoughts can quietly shape the opportunities we pursue, the rooms we enter, and even the size of the dreams we allow ourselves to imagine.

In this empowering and interactive workshop, Dr. Minina Johnson challenges participants to dismantle F.E.A.R. — False Evidence Appearing Real — and transform it into F.E.A.R. — Focus, Empower, Act, Reclaim. Through personal storytelling, guided reflection, emotional intelligence, and practical coaching strategies, participants will identify the internal narratives, self- doubt, and perceived limitations that may be keeping them from pursuing what is next.

Participants will learn how to:

• Focus on what truly matters
• Empower themselves through greater self-awareness and confidence
• Act with intention despite uncertainty
• Reclaim the ambition, identity, and dreams they may have minimized along the way

Designed for women navigating leadership, career growth, and identity alignment, this session reminds participants that before we can confidently lead projects, teams, and organizations, we must first learn to lead ourselves. Participants will leave inspired, equipped with practical tools, and ready to take bold, intentional, and unapologetic steps toward expanding their dreams.
