Nelve Lee: Be the Super Hero of Your Story
In this dynamic 30-minute presentation, Dr. Nelva Lee challenges women business leaders to step fully into their personal power, rewrite limiting narratives, and lead with purpose, courage, and resilience. Drawing from her book Be the Super Hero of Your Story, this session reframes leadership through the lens of ownership—of vision, decisions, setbacks, and success.
Attendees will explore how life transitions, adversity, and self-doubt can become defining moments rather than derailments, and how embracing responsibility for one’s story unlocks clarity, confidence, and sustainable impact. Designed for high-performing women navigating growth, pressure, and change, this presentation offers both inspiration and practical perspective to help leaders move from survival mode to intentional leadership.
Participants will leave energized, refocused, and reminded that they are not supporting characters in their lives or businesses—they are the hero.
