masterclassworkshop to clients
Join Sophie Nicolas for an interactive workshop designed to help you turn your workshops into a powerful client-generating tool. Whether you’re a coach, service provider, or expert sharing your knowledge through workshops, this session will show you how to move beyond simply delivering value and start creating genuine interest in your offers — without relying on big launches, sales calls, or uncomfortable follow-ups. In this workshop, you’ll learn: ✨ A proven framework for turning workshop audiences into paying clients — so you can fill your programs more consistently and confidently. ✨ The #1 mistake that’s costing coaches and experts thousands in workshop sales — and why giving away more value doesn’t always lead to more conversions. ✨ How to create desire before you ever pitch your offer — so the right people are already thinking, “I need this,” when it’s time to share your program. ✨ The Compliments-to-Clients Method — a simple approach to moving your audience from “That was amazing!” to “Send me the link” throughout your workshop, rather than hoping a final sales pitch does all the work. By the end of this workshop, you’ll have a clear strategy for transforming your next workshop into a sales opportunity — one that feels authentic, aligned, and natural. About Sophie Nicolas Sophie Nicolas is a TEDx speaker and workshop facilitator who has used speaking to sell out her programs, generate five-figure launches, and build a business without relying on endless sales calls or awkward follow-ups. She believes women have often been taught a version of selling that feels pushy, performative, and unnatural — making many brilliant women hesitant to ask people to buy. Through her work, Sophie helps coaches, service providers, and experts take a different approach: using workshops to build trust, create genuine desire, and turn more “That was amazing!” moments into paying clients. Her philosophy is simple: you don’t need to pressure people into buying. You need to help the right people feel ready to take the next step.

masterclassthe arrival paradox: why the life you built abroad wasn't enough
The culture of achievement gives us the complete tool set to build the life abroad we envisioned: the goals, the roadmap, the discipline. What it doesn't give us is a single tool for what comes after, when the expected feeling doesn't arrive with the achievement. This workshop names that experience and gives you a way to find where you stand in it, and what that place asks of you next. Who it's for This workshop is designed for high-achieving women who got everything they set out to build abroad, and still don't feel the fulfillment they expected. Key takeaway Participants leave with the map of the arrival paradox (its phases), knowing where they stand on it and what their phase asks of them next. About the facilitator Livia Araujo is the founder of Clarae Institute. Her work centers on the arrival paradox: the experience of building the life you planned abroad and finding the arrival doesn’t deliver what it promised. Before founding Clarae, she spent a decade in senior product management roles, leading teams and products across Latin America, North America, and Europe before settling in Vienna. She stepped off that track to build the programs she couldn’t find anywhere else, grounded in personality science and positive psychology.

masterclassleadership in motion: flexing your style for greater impact
Many leaders develop a preferred way of leading. Effective leaders, though, don’t rely on just one leadership style. They recognize that different people, situations, and challenges often require a different response. This practical webinar explores how greater self-awareness helps leaders move beyond habitual behaviours and make more intentional leadership choices. Through interactive activities, participants will: - identify their default leadership style, - recognize when it serves them well (and when it doesn't), and - develop a simple framework for flexing their style to better meet the needs of the situation and the people involved.
masterclassgirl, it's time to make more money
wth, why am i not making more money yet??? You’ve worked hard. You’ve become better at what you do. You have more experience, more responsibility and probably far less patience for being told to “just believe in yourself.” And yet, you’re still not making the money you thought you would be making by now. Maybe your salary has barely moved. Maybe you keep charging the same prices. Maybe you earn well on paper but still don’t feel financially comfortable. Or maybe you keep saying you want more without having a clue what you should actually do next. At some point, cutting back is not the answer. Working even more is not the answer either, duh. It’s time to figure out what is keeping your income where it is and what could finally change it. This online workshop with Executive Coach Karina Streng looks at the beliefs, habits and decisions shaping how much you earn, often without you noticing. Together, we’ll look at: + the money beliefs you picked up and may still be making decisions from + why capable women undercharge, overdeliver or wait to be recognised + what you actually want to earn—and what keeps making you reduce it + whether your next move is a salary conversation, a better-paid role, higher prices or a new income stream + how to talk about money without apologising, over-explaining or immediately adding “but I’m flexible” + the next change that could move your income forward by the end, you’ll have… + a clear income goal that is based on what you want, not what feels safe to admit + a better understanding of the beliefs and habits that have been keeping your income where it is + clarity on which money move makes the most sense for you words you can use in your next salary, pricing or money conversation + one decision to make and one action to take after the workshop
