Shedding the Disguise: How Queer Leadership Is Revolutionizing Business

Language of the presentation: German

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE PRESENTATION

You might recognize this scenario:
You want to make a strong impression during the application process, yet you barely notice yourself drifting away from what truly defines you.
Instead of showing your authentic self, an inner voice takes the lead, telling you:
“Don’t reveal too much. Be professional. Try to get everything right.”

The result: You overthink what will be well-received, choose your words cautiously, and come across as polished rather than relatable—leaving out the very things that truly interest others: personality, stance, and presence.
Yet, often, it is precisely what you hold back that would make the biggest impact and set you apart.

My talk explores how old patterns and your inner critic influence the way you present yourself—and why it is so difficult to stay true to yourself in the process.

This is for you if you no longer want to limit yourself just to appear “right.”

SHORT VITA

Do you know the feeling of constantly having to adapt, only to lose sight of yourself in the process?
I’m Kaya Prantl (all pronouns), a systemic coach and mental performance coach.
I help you find clarity amidst emotional chaos and break free from old labels—from the conditioning you adopted even though it never truly belonged to you. My coaching sessions give you the space to recalibrate, find your bearings, and reconnect with yourself—without making yourself smaller than you are.
