KEYNOTE SPEAKER
PERMISSION COACH
PODCASTER @ PERMISSION TO BE HUMAN

Andrea Enright

Checked off all life’s boxes, but still feeling blah?

Afraid to quit the secure corporate job?

Starting to question everything?

You’re not alone. Mid-life meh is a thing. 

Most of us were raised on:
--Hollywood (fairytales and forever are real!)
--Catholicism (whoever dies without getting divorced wins!)
--Capitalism (achieve more, buy more, you’ll feel better!)

So it’s no wonder we’re feeling lost.

But while many advise to look outside yourself for the answers, I promise you, they are within.

The Talk

Your Cage Opens from the Inside: Permission to R.I.S.E

In this brave and pretty darn funny performance full of surprising storytelling, human behavioral science, painful personal growth, (plenty of dancing) and an impersonation of the voices in her head, Andrea Enright explains how a lifetime of weird, yet wise choices (Peace Corps at 30, Polyamory at 40, Moving to Costa Rica for at 45) have ultimately helped her choose herself, instead of waiting to be chosen. 

And with a framework that focuses on feeling and being, instead of thinking and doing, she’ll inspire you to rediscover yourself, release cultural conditioning, confront your limiting fears and break out of your cage…..so you can find freedom. 

Take Aways

--Permission to make BIG changes
--Strategies to build a relationship with yourself
--Skills for listening to your inner witch instead of your evil twin
--Tools to be brave in your relationships
--Wisdom about how to let go. Of a lot, yo.
--An understanding that your body holds the answers

What They’re Saying

  • Erin O. Davis, Community Engagement, Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.

    “Andrea provided an amazing talk to senior women leaders in banking on how to build a personal brand on LinkedIn. Attendees found her session incredibly effective and they left with a new direction on how to raise their voices and deepen their impact.”

  • Beth Karawan, EVP and Co-Founder, CX Imprint

    “After implementing Andrea’s process, I started getting A LOT more attention on LinkedIn. My posts got more comments. Loose connections reached out. More engagement all around. It’s as if my rogue opinions gave others permission to join the conversation. Building my personal brand has been a gateway for self-expression – I now weave my own distinct voice into everything I post. It’s remarkable.”

  • Lisa Barroca, Cultivators Community

    “What an awesome and inspiring talent Andrea is. I learned more during her presentation than other courses costing thousands. Simple language, no confusions, easy to understand and focused on what truly matters.”
