The Game Changing Power of Confidence Creation
When you are your most confident, you share your ideas, embrace collaborating with others and contribute your ideas in meetings. Confidence is the one thing that changes everything in any environment.
 
As setbacks and challenges are destined to occur, those who are confident withstand the blows while others crumble under the pressure.
 
Lacking confidence typically results in an inability to get promoted, get noticed or even be heard. The feelings of frustration, disappointment and anger that go along with lack of confidence can be debilitating. Lack of confidence leads to a life of existing instead of thriving. Even though it is clear that everyone wants to be confident, most people and companies do not have a plan to create confidence for the individual and within the workplace. As a result of lack of confidence there is a lack of revenue, lack of innovation and lack of collaboration.
 
There are often culture issues throughout organizations of blame and lack of trust when confidence is absent.
 
Luckily, it doesn’t need to remain this way. There is a solution.
 
Heather Monahan has spent the last 24 years developing her strategy to create confidence, overcome challenges and step into your power. Heather will share with you her direct, systematic approach to create change for the individual and organization. Heather’s unique approach of sharing her personal low moments allows the audience to engage and relate quickly.
 
Learn how to create confidence in yourself and get ready to take yourself and your organization to the next level now.

 
The Life Changing Difference: Becoming a Confident Woman
Lacking confidence as a woman is something Heather Monahan knows quite a bit about. Feeling less than others, feeling scared to put yourself out there or just feeling lost are all signs that it’s time for you to create your confidence. Beginning as young as 8 years old, females statistically report having less confidence than their male peers. Realizing that the gender pay gap isn’t closing anytime soon, it is time to take charge and create your own confidence so you don’t have to wait for the invite and instead create it for yourself.
 
The majority of women today are struggling with self-doubt. Most women fail to put themselves first. Many women are bullied and don’t know how to stand up for themselves. Our culture applauds men winning awards and sharing the news yet a woman feels petrified to share the news of her accomplishments. Women are afraid to appear “mean” or “full of themselves” and most women accept the blame for things they are not responsible for.
 
Ending the constant apologizing, self-deprecation and need to play small, will create confidence and set women up for opportunities they currently don’t see as possible. There is one opinion in this world that matters and it is yours. It is about time for you to own it and shine your light so the rest of the world can see.
 
Heather Monahan is the speaker that will bring her real-world experience and share her personal heartfelt stories to your audience to empower them to create change and elevate them for life. The specific steps that Heather will share with your audience will leave them fired up and ready to take the leap to create their own confidence and make change in their life for the better. Sharing her hard-won wisdom with your audience will equip them with the tools, understanding and inspiration to make the changes needed. Confidence isn’t given, it is created. Heather’s unique journey of shattering the glass ceiling in corporate America, building millions in value and being fired only to reinvent herself as an author, speaker and entrepreneur will connect with your audience like no other woman can.

 
The Revenue Recipe Creating the Confident Sales Team
In every exchange someone is sold. Whether it is you being sold to pick up your friend’s dry cleaning or you selling your friend as to why you can’t do it and instead doing something for yourself one of you will ultimately sell the other. Becoming your most confident self will free up time for you to care for yourself and do things you want to do. Creating your confidence will empower you to become the “real” you, the one that you had been afraid to be. Taking off the mask of who you thought you had to be and instead owning who you are will allow you to communicate and sell in ways that you never knew were possible. What makes you unique and different is where your superpower lies. Once you have discovered your superpower, achieving your goals and increasing sales is easy.
 
After more than 20 years driving sales and leading teams, Heather Monahan will share the ways she became a top producer and grew hundreds of millions in revenue. Heather does not teach the old process of selling instead she brings a fresh perspective to work that empowers your people to step into their confidence and finally see what has been holding them back from achieving their success. The relatable stories that Heather brings to your team make the lessons memorable and impactful yielding results. If you want to set your sellers up for the biggest year of their life and your company’s biggest revenue spike yet, create confidence for your sellers and your team. Heather Monahan is not only an expert in sales she is also an expert in confidence creation and combining her expertise delivers a presentation you can’t afford to miss.

I had the pleasure of booking Heather Monahan to speak to our WAVE (Women’s Association of Verizon Employees) members. Her keynote speech on Becoming a Confident Woman was received extremely well by our 900+ attendees! Our virtual event had a level of engagement I had not seen before on previous events. The comments and questions throughout the event were so uplifting and inspirational. Our members walked away with the tools to build an action plan that could be used to advance their career and improve personal relationships. I will be using Heather on future events within Verizon. The impact was felt by so many! I am constantly being asked to bring Heather back. I’ve enclosed a few comments from my members.

Thank you so much – this has been such a valuable session.

Your authentic real examples make what you are saying very applicable. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you, Heather…..you are so motivating and energetic! Very inspiring and so much to learn from all you have shared!

This is great! I didn’t watch the clock and didn’t multi-task with work. So motivating and interesting. Thank you for sharing.

We had the pleasure of booking Heather to speak at one of our Miami HEAT Women in Leadership Series Workshops and was blown away with how relatable and knowledgeable she was when it came to overcoming obstacles and instilling confidence in one’s self. She was able to get our group to talk about their own personal experiences and provide feedback on how to approach certain scenarios and conversations. Her unmatched energy and funny stories kept the workshop entertaining and informative the entire time. Thank you, Heather, for the fantastic workshop!

Bursting with energy, Heather Monahan arrived on my screen and immediately engaged our company attendees. Talk about a dynamo. Heather was the antidote to a year of zoom fatigue, with an inspired speaker event that was Ted-worthy. While I would have been thrilled to see Heather speak live and in-person, she, like many of us has learned to adapt to our virtual circumstances and was a straight pro. Heather keeps it real, pulling you in with real-life scenarios to which we can all relate. But Heather’s hardest hitting value is her ability to speak to proven methods and tips to come out a winner. Highly recommend!

Our company was lucky enough to have Heather address our sales department recently and I can’t begin to communicate the profound effect it had on our sales leaders and team members. Throughout her entire presentation my phone was inundated with text messages from our staff expressing their excitement and inspiration at her story. I highly recommend Heather Monahan for anyone looking to motivate a sales team and drive it’s performance. She is truly a giant of the industry.
