Her Table: The Lioness Within with Jae Ricks
2023-07-19 19:00 - 21:00 | For Her Community Space, 8546 Broadway, Suite 255, San Antonio, TX, 78217, United States

The Lioness Within
A lioness is an emblematic representation of strength, courage, and leadership. She reigns supreme as Queen of the Jungle – so don’t underestimate her influence. As powerful and capable leaders, women deserve respect from others and should not fear speaking up for themselves and standing up for what they believe in. As the lioness cares for her cubs, we should also take good care in caring for ourselves. Eating healthful foods, sleeping enough hours each night, and engaging in regular physical exercise are all vital parts of wellness; surrounding ourselves with positive people who support us is also beneficial; finding activities we enjoy that bring pleasure is another crucial component to overall well-being. Regaining our power can be challenging; it requires courage and resolve, but ultimately the rewards can be significant: living our lives on our terms allows us to become happier, healthier, and more successful individuals. Here are a few more ways you can become like a lioness:

Be confident. A lioness knows that she is the queen of the jungle, and she carries herself with confidence. We should do the same.
Be fierce. A lioness is not afraid to fight for what she believes in. We should be the same.
Be protective. A lioness fiercely protects her cubs. We should be protective of our loved ones and our dreams.
Be nurturing. A lioness is a nurturing mother. We should be nurturing to ourselves and to others

We’re honored to have Jennipha “Jae” Ricks facilitate this Her Table! Jae is the Founder & CEO of Jae Elle Consulting, LLC, which focuses on the education, leadership, and empowerment of women, and Elluvation, which focuses on strategic planning and project management.

She is a well-respected educator and leader, with a heart for growing other confident leaders. Believing passionately in the power of education, leadership, and empowerment of women and young girls is what drives Jae. She is also a dedicated mother, daughter, and friend.

Workshop Topic: Mindful Communication
At Her Table on July 5th, join us for a transformative workshop on mindful communication, where we will uncover the secrets to becoming a more conscious communicator, empowering you to forge deeper connections, resolve conflicts, and cultivate understanding. We will unravel the intricate web of thoughts, emotions, and beliefs that shape our communication patterns. By developing an awareness of our own unconscious biases, assumptions, and triggers, we can begin to navigate conversations with greater clarity and empathy.
Discover how to harness the power of nonverbal cues, such as body language and tone of voice, to convey authenticity and build trust in your relationships. Learn to recognize and interpret the subtle cues that indicate the unspoken needs and desires of others, fostering a profound sense of connection and understanding.
Through practical exercises, insightful discussions, and the science of communication, you will acquire valuable tools and techniques to break through communication barriers and establish open, honest, and meaningful dialogues. Whether you seek to enhance your personal relationships, excel in your professional endeavors, or simply foster a more harmonious existence, this workshop will equip you with the skills to communicate mindfully and nurture thriving connections.
