LAS VEGAS - s4story -- Witnessing burnout and overwhelm among faith-based women in middle management, C-Suite, and entrepreneurial roles, author, speaker, and coach Sharon Hughes is proud to introduce The Inner Work of Leadership. This work challenges a common assumption: that looking confident means feeling confident. Participants will dig deep to strengthen the skills needed to lead with courage and confidence.

Research highlights that only about 15% of people possess sufficient self-awareness, a core component of leading oneself.

In response to this statistic, Sharon Hughes states, "We've taught people how to communicate, manage teams, set goals and develop strategy, but very few of us were taught how to lead ourselves. I believe the strongest leaders are willing to rethink what they believe, remove what no longer belongs and rebuild from a place of confidence, clarity and truth."

Hughes calls this The Inner Work of Leadership, an approach that addresses what often sits underneath the surface: self-doubt, people-pleasing, second-guessing and the pressure to appear confident—even among highly capable and accomplished people.

At the heart of her work is a simple three-part framework: Rethink. Remove. Rebuild.

For Hughes, this framework wasn't created in a marketing meeting. She recognized that it had been woven through her own transformation, in her award-winning book The Girl in the Garage, and the leadership principles she has taught in corporate and personal development settings for years.

Judy Weber, Esq., client of Sharon Hughes, shared, "Sharon is the real deal with a powerful message that women need across the globe: you have the power to be that confident woman you long to be...and it begins with letting go of the lies you've been telling yourself for too long." She continued, "Her top-selling book, Girl in the Garage, is ingenious as it serves as a workbook, taking you step by step through her proprietary approach to confidence building."
