The Inner Confidence Workshop
For Game-Changers, Emerging Leaders, and People Living Into Purpose
Facilitated by Sunni Brown & Liya James
Workshop Recording Now Available for Instant Access
Take Meaningful Action Toward a Dream, Goal, or Longing
In this workshop, you’ll be guided to identify, explore, and directly impact a goal, longing, aspiration, or project in order to enhance your degree of confidence in relationship to it. We’ll positively disrupt the conventional definition of “confidence” and lean into a felt sense of it through multi-sensory facilitated games alongside embodied practices. These techniques will support you in taking meaningful action to unlock purpose and potential, even if the ground is slippery, or you feel vulnerable and shaky.
You will leave this workshop with:
a clear understanding of what true confidence is
an ability to visually map elements of your inner landscape connected to a meaningful topic area
a practical technique for summoning inner confidence when facing something challenging
a felt sense that you can work with self-doubt, self-criticism, or other patterns that erode confidence
an elevated capacity to respond flexibly, recover quickly, and return to centeredness when it matters
a heightened capacity to resolve inner conflicts that complicate your decision-making
an enhanced sense of self-trust by tapping into your own inner guidance
greater awareness of and alignment with your internal compass
Workshop recording is available for instant access now.

What past participants have to say
“That was amaaaazing. I can now appreciate the analytical/thinking parts of me, so they don’t overwhelm me anymore. I came into this workshop feeling run down and stuck even though I can see so many paths forward. I was almost sick of thinking about things and not making any headway. I had a significant change since the workshop; there’s a confidence or inner peace within me now that comes with knowing that when I’m flooded and overwhelmed, I know a reliable way to understand what’s going on inside and that I can get unstuck from the polarity. I can’t thank you enough.”
“I sat down after the workshop and let all parts of me express fully for the very first time about this transition. It felt so good to see it all laid out like that. More importantly, I suddenly realized what was really in my way and felt so clear on how to move forward. I love this process. I want to do it again with my daughter. I think she’ll benefit from this too!”
“I used to call these patterns unkind names because I hated them. The therapist I was working with helped me trace these patterns back to childhood. And she encouraged me to move past them. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t do it. That made me feel so ashamed. Thank you for your compassion and teaching me the inner laws. Now, I know I wasn’t actually sabotaging myself at all, and I know how reasonable it is that parts of me are concerned when I take risks, and they’re just trying to protect me. I appreciate these parts now, and I feel they have softened their reactions lately. I can think so much clearer.”
“Holy moly, our team loved this workshop. The tools were unexpected but so powerful. This is so timely because our past success meant we’re being asked to step up in a way none of us has ever done before. The practices you taught us redefined courage for us. Thank you!”
“It’s so hard to be a leader. It’s clear to me you know what I’m going through on a deep deep level. I learned more about myself in just a few hours than years of leadership coaching and therapy. I’m so glad I can keep doing this whenever I feel that imposter feeling. Anyway, I just want you to know how profound this was for me. Thank you!”
“This is not the way I was expecting this to work. But I am making good decisions and taking actions without feeling like I need external validation every step of the way. The biggest takeaway for me was learning the practice of slowing down and parsing all the parts of me that have strong emotions and flooded with thoughts. This is huge for me not just professionally, but I am so much less indecisive in other aspect of my personal life too. Thank you!”
“I was going to hire 2 or 3 different people to help me figure out how to keep doing meaningful work and prioritize my needs at the same time. These practices helped me see all these different voices that made me feel so conflicted and lost. I was overwhelmed by them so I was secretly hoping someone would just tell me what to do. Once all my parts aren’t polarized any more, I could see clearly a path forward that I truly want to take. It suddenly seems so obvious. I’m crying as I’m telling you this because I’m still getting used to the fear not being there all the time. It feels like a miracle.”
