Beacon Performance Solutions: Women’s Leadership & Coaching

01/10/2026

Negotiation shows up in more places than we often realize - asking for a raise, setting a boundary, pricing your work, or even naming what you need.

I recently shared a blog post on negotiation and self-advocacy, inspired by conversations I’ve had with so many thoughtful, capable women who were never taught how to do this in ways that feel confident and aligned.

If this feels like an area you’d like to strengthen, you’re warmly invited to join my final Shine On workshop, Negotiation and Self-Advocacy, on January 22 in East Aurora. We’ll explore practical tools and mindset shifts in a supportive, no-pressure space.

And if reading the blog is all you need right now, that’s okay too - I hope it offers something you can bring into your next conversation. Even small moments of self-advocacy matter.

Negotiation is a skill that can shape careers, influence outcomes, and build confidence. Yet for many women, negotiation and self-advocacy can feel uncomfortable, intimidating, or even risky. That’s because negotiation isn’t just about strategy- it’s deeply connected to how we’ve been social...

✨ Now that we’ve learned how to silence the inner critic, it’s time to use that confidence where it matters most - your voice. 🎤

Our next session in the Shine On Series - Speaking Up with Influence - is all about communicating with clarity, authority, and presence in every leadership moment.

After our first workshop, I was so moved by what participants shared:

“Kristen is so down to earth and truly wants to help women be empowered.”
“The most valuable part was coming up with affirmations for future use.”
“You connect well with your audience and are vulnerable - great personal examples.”

Those reflections capture what this series is all about - building self-trust, confidence, and connection one small shift at a time.

Whether you’re leading a meeting, giving feedback, or navigating a tough conversation, this next workshop will help you speak up with impact - and be heard.

💡 You don’t need to have attended the first session to join. Each workshop stands on its own and offers practical tools to help you grow as a leader.

✨ What a beautiful evening at the first Shine One Series Workshop: Silencing the Inner Critic!

A huge thank-you to every woman who came out - even in the rain - ready to reflect, grow, and support one another. Your energy truly lit up the room. 💛

We explored how to quiet self-doubt, build self-trust, and lead with grounded confidence - especially when the stakes are high.

Confidence doesn’t start when fear disappears. It starts when you trust yourself enough to lead anyway.

What’s one small shift you’re carrying forward from last night?
Share below or jot it in your reflection journal to keep the momentum going. 🌧️➡️✨

I’m so excited to kick off the Shine On Workshop Series this week! ✨

The first session - Silencing the Inner Critic - is all about quieting that voice of self-doubt so you can lead, speak, and show up with confidence when it matters most.

I’ve been putting the finishing touches on the activities and materials and I can already tell this session is going to be powerful. 💛

If you’ve ever second-guessed yourself in a meeting, hesitated to share an idea, or felt that inner critic hold you back - this workshop is for you.

You can join for this single session or attend the full Shine On series - each workshop stands on its own, but together they build a deeper foundation of confidence and leadership from the inside out. 🌟

A few seats are still open - we’re meeting this Thursday evening in East Aurora, and I’d love for you to join us.

Let’s start quieting that inner critic and make more space for your authentic, confident voice to shine. 🌟
