Leadership Conference

Samara will reveal how anyone can use their voice to get what they want - the gig, the support, the funding, the votes, the future that's calling. She will offer extremely practical tips, moving and inspiring tales, and a massive dollop of permission to help you find your power, out loud.

The result? A voice that's specific, not generic, brave not safe, joyful not self-serious, varied not squeezed into one boring note, diverse in all the ways.

Attendees will learn:

Why it's critical to rethink what power sounds like for the world we live in today
How to "find your voice" and understand why it went missing in the first place
How to use your newfound authentic voice to get what you want, despite tricky office politics, power dynamics, or voice biases at play

Do any of these “rules” sound familiar? Don’t buy that five-dollar coffee! Debt is terrible! Live below your means! Cochran’s approach is different. If you want a latte every day, go get it. You can have your lattes and your millions, too. Have big goals for your life, like buying your dream house, traveling the world, or leaving a meaningful legacy for your family? Your money can make all of that possible for you—and more. Cochran can help you, even if you think you’re “bad with money,” define your personal path to building wealth your way, including how to:

redefine wealth;
change your money story;
expand your money capacity;
define your version of a rich life; and
create your money practice.

Empower yourself to truly own your money and make financial decisions confidently, based on your unique vision of what a good life looks like.

Award-winning international designer Ugochi Iwuaba always had a love for fashion. However, being the firstborn girl in a traditional Nigerian family, her parents disapproved and wanted her to pursue a more “prestigious” career as either a doctor or a lawyer.

While courage is tough and comfort is easy, Ugochi will share with us the power of courage and where it has taken her over the years. She will share the scary moments where she had choices and had to make them quickly and the result of moving forward with courage.
