In Person Member Meeting: Taming the Inner Critic & Awakening the Inner Coach with Ana Cortes-Holbert
Taming the Inner Critic: Awakening the Inner Coach
A Confidence Reset for High-Achieving Women
Do you ever feel like your inner critic is running the show—fueling self-doubt, overachievement, and second-guessing your every move? It’s time to quiet the noise and step into the confident leader you’re meant to be.
Join Ana Cortes-Holbert, certified life coach and founder of Green Light Coaching & Development, for a transformational workshop designed to help you trade negative self-talk for clarity, confidence, and renewed self-trust. After nearly three decades in education and leadership, Ana now helps high-achieving women reconnect with their worth beyond accomplishments and lead with alignment instead of fear.
In this session, you’ll learn:
✅ Clarity on your inner critic patterns—and how they silently shape decisions
✅ Practical tools to shift from self-doubt to confidence using Positive Intelligence & self-talk science
✅ A renewed sense of self-trust and permission to pursue joy, alignment, and fulfillment—not just “success”
Whether you’re juggling leadership, entrepreneurship, or simply the weight of high expectations, this empowering workshop will give you the tools to pause, recalibrate, and step forward with more ease and confidence.

With over a decade of digital marketing experience—from leading nonprofit campaigns to running the Paid Media department at a full-service agency—Via knows exactly how to make paid media accessible for small and growing businesses.
She founded Vimo Digital after seeing how traditional agencies often overlook entrepreneurs and SMBs, creating a more flexible approach with no steep retainers or ad spend minimums. Her mission: to help you start small, scale smart, and get results without the overwhelm.
In this session, you’ll:

Join us for a powerful and thought-provoking session with Aaron Suzuki from Local First Arizona, an organization on a mission to level the playing field for small, local businesses in our state.

✅ How local spending drives stronger, more inclusive communities
✅ Small, actionable steps you can take to support a thriving local economy—starting now
Whether you’re a local business owner, a proud Arizona resident, or someone who wants to see our economy grow in meaningful and lasting ways, this session will equip you with insight, connection, and purpose.
This conversation is inspired by the heart and vision of Local First Arizona—an organization Aaron first encountered at the 2020 Good Business Summit. What started as curiosity has turned into a deep commitment to their mission.
