The Leader Within: Trusting Yourself to Lead Others

  • Crowne Plaza Philadelphia 260 Mall Boulevard King of Prussia, PA, 19406 United States (map)

A Two-Part Leadership Experience with Rocky Garza

Join us for two powerful half-day workshops with acclaimed speaker, coach, and identity expert Rocky Garza—each designed to help you unlock the leader within by anchoring your leadership in identity, clarity, and unshakable confidence.

Each session stands on its own, offering unique insights and hands-on coaching, but together they create a full-day transformational journey. Whether you join one or both, you’ll walk away challenged to stop performing and start leading—as yourself.

What to Expect

  • Morning Session: Lead Like You, Not Like Them

    What if your most effective leadership strategy isn’t trying to be like someone else—but learning to trust yourself?

    This keynote cuts through the noise of comparison and performance pressure to get to the core of who you are. Rocky will show how aligning your values with your actions can elevate your leadership—without burnout. You’ll leave with practical frameworks and the unshakable reminder that the leader your team needs isn’t out there—it’s already in you.

  • Afternoon Session: The Imposter Within

    Imposter syndrome isn’t a flaw to fix—it’s a tension to lead through.

    This engaging session reframes self-doubt as a catalyst for growth. Rocky will help you shift your inner narrative, uncover the source of limiting beliefs, and lead with deeper awareness and authenticity. Through small group exercises and real-time coaching, you’ll walk away with the confidence to lead not in spite of your doubts—but through them.
