Meet Your Judges for the Empowerment Competition

Aug 31, 2023

Empowerment is not about giving power to others, it's about helping them discover the power within themselves

Join us on September 19th live in Toronto at Lula Lounge for Speaker Slam®, an empowering evening of inspiration and growth, as 10 incredible speakers take the stage to share their stories of Empowerment.

Empowerment is about recognizing our own strength and potential, and using it to make positive changes in our lives and communities. At Speaker Slam, you'll hear from speakers who have done just that - who have overcome adversity and harnessed their own power to make a difference.

Their stories will inspire you to tap into your own inner strength and to take action towards your goals and dreams. You'll learn how to overcome self-doubt and fear, and how to use your voice to advocate for yourself and others.

Join us on September 19th and discover the power of true empowerment - the power to create meaningful change and to live your best life.
