## *About the Event* ## 🎟️[Secure the tickets here](https://www.womeninleadership.ca/events-1/women-in-leadership-wil-day-event-2026). **Event Overview** The Women in Leadership (WIL) Toronto Chapter is proud to host a special event in celebration of WIL Day 2026. This gathering will bring together professionals for an inspiring evening centered on leadership, wellbeing, and meaningful connection. The program will feature an engaging workshop, a dynamic panel discussion, and curated networking opportunities - each designed to empower leaders to explore how wellbeing can be harnessed as a strategic advantage to drive both personal effectiveness and organizational success. **Workshop overview:** **Unlocking the Power of the Female Nervous System: Lead with Clarity & Presence** Most corporate environments were not designed with women’s biology in mind. The result? High-performing women are 1.5x more likely than men to experience burnout. This experiential workshop offers a different path. You’ll learn how your nervous system shapes your leadership, decision-making, and resilience - and how to work with it, not against it. Through practical tools and guided practices, you’ll build the capacity to regulate in real time, access grounded presence, and lead with greater clarity, confidence, and influence. **Panel abstract:** **Sustainable Leadership: Wellness as a Strategic Advantage** Wellness is no longer a personal luxury - it is a leadership imperative. The Women in Leadership Foundation and CIBC invites you to an insightful panel discussion exploring how wellness directly influences decision-making, team performance, innovation, and long-term career growth. Featuring three distinguished female leaders from diverse industries, this moderated session will explore: * Wellness as a competitive leadership advantage * Designing work rhythms that protect energy and performance * Modeling healthy leadership for teams and organizations * Integrating personal values into professional success Participants will gain practical tools and frameworks they can immediately apply to elevate both their well-being, leadership effectiveness and visibility. **Speakers:** **Panelists:** Natasha Bruyea, Vice President, Organization Design & Effectiveness, HR, CIBC , CIBC Rachel Barbaro, ICF-Certified Executive Leadership Coach, Organizational Consultant Darcy MacNeil, Senior Director, Social, Loblaw Agency **Moderator:** Caroline Galdamez, Events Director, Women in Leadership (WIL) Foundation, Toronto Chapter **Event Agenda** 5:15pm - 5:30PM - Registration 5:30 – 5:35 PM - Welcome & Opening Remarks 5:35 – 6:05 PM - Interactive Workshop (30 mins) Facilitated by Rachel Barbaro 6:05 – 6:20 PM - Break (15 minutes) 6:20 – 7:00 PM - Panel Discussion (40 minutes) 7:00 – 7:15 PM - Audience Q&A 7:15 – 8:00 PM - Networking 🎟️[Spots are limited, secure your tickets here](https://www.womeninleadership.ca/events-1/women-in-leadership-wil-day-event-2026).

Please note: this is an invitation to experience group workshops and private feminine embodiment coaching. To learn more please contact Amanda Clarke at lusciousfeminine@gmail.com. Feminine Embodiment Women's Circles & Coaching https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/2/f/0/600_460789904.jpeg There is a cosmic shift happening on the planet and women are tired of playing second fiddle in this game of life. Playing small not only keeps you from manifesting what you truly want, but it also holds you back from living out your divine purpose. I’ve been there, stuck, held back, and yearning to break-free and frankly being in that place plain 'ol sucks! What if you could step-up and make a difference; a meaningful contribution in this world by just being you? How might the landscape of your life look? Over for the past six years, I’ve worked with women who are looking to break out of the spell of smallness. It pangs me to see women depressed, depleted, disconnected and downright insecure. One of the reasons many of my clients rave about the work we do together is because I provide immediate results. What I teach is inherent within you but there are layers of gunk bogging you down from accessing this wisdom. Spinning your wheels, and living a life of lack is no way to live, beautiful. You are so much more! What can you expect from our sessions together: • A solid understanding of what feminine energy is, and how to use it to have your way with the world • Develop a physical and energetic presence that attracts what you want: personally and professionally. • Feel more comfortable with your sensuality, and with receiving positive attention. • Experience more passion in your life - particularly your love life. • Be more at ease setting clear boundaries with others. • Learn to be in flow rather than always pushing and striving to make things happen. • Look and feel more sexy, confident and radiant • Gain clarity about your life purpose and the greatest gifts you have to offer the world • Establish or strengthen your intuitive guidance Book a FREE 30-minute discovery call to learn how I can help support you on your journey to coming home to yourself as a woman. This means MORE self-love, MORE self-confidence, MORE clarity, MORE empowerment and saying YES to living out your divine mission. For more information on my coaching packages please visit www.lusciousfeminine.com or to book a FREE 30-minute complimentary Discovery Call, email Amanda at lusciousfeminine@gmail.com “Before working with Amanda, I was the dried-out, work-obsessed intellectual. I lived in my head and felt completely severed from the neck-down. I over-intellectualized emotionally-charged situations to avoid being present…I am [now] able to ease my ‘mind-babble’, step into my power as a woman knowing that I am safe and secure within my own space, and practice expressing my needs and desires from a more authentic place… Amanda helped me to be trust in the power of vulnerability, surrender, and acceptance. It has been a pleasurable journey! \~ Stefanie T. Amanda Clarke The Luscious Feminine http://www.lusciousfeminine.com http://www.facebook.com/thelusciousfeminine lusciousfeminine@gmail.com
