When workplace abuse strikes, we become consumed with loss: of our dignity, our trust, and our mental, emotional, and financial health. We feel angry. We ruminate. We feel like we can’t get past the trauma.

At the day-long Re-Define Summit, you’ll connect with targets while hearing from experts in workplace abuse, political action, trauma, career counseling, life coaching, and more. With new tools in your belt and validation and support, you can look to your past to prepare you for your best days to come.

How childhood and societal conditioning leads us to step out of our power
Where you are staying safe and playing small
How to set yourself free from abuse and toxic dynamics in the workplace
How to process the trauma of workplace abuse
How to find a job you love using an empowered job search model
