The Identity Gap: Why Your Next Level Requires a Different Version of You
In this powerful Master Class, executive leadership coach and author Anna Gibbs introduces the concept of the Identity Gap — the silent space between where high-achieving women are and who they are becoming. Drawing on her proprietary R.E.T.U.R.N. Method™ and 35 years of business and leadership experience, Anna guides participants through a live, transformative session that goes beyond strategy and skill into the deeper work that unlocks a leader’s next level. This is not another productivity framework. This is the conversation that changes how you lead, decide, and show up.
Leave this session with something most leadership development never delivers: a precise understanding of why their next level requires more than strategy or skill refinement — and a clear, proven method for closing the identity gap that’s been quietly costing them. They will walk away with the R.E.T.U.R.N. Method™ as an immediately applicable framework, a deeper awareness of the patterns running in the background of their leadership, and the clarity and permission to lead their next chapter as the most fully aligned version of themselves.
