June CBW+ Speaker Series | Befriending our Inner Critic
Wednesday, June 25, 2025 (8:00 AM - 9:30 AM) (EDT)
Description
Join us for our June CBW+ Speaker Series presented by Conrad Siegel, Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course, UPMC and Women Involved of The Salvation Army Harrisburg.
The June CBW+ Speaker Series will feature Krista Beljan, Leadership Consultant at Dame Leadership, as she speaks on Befriending our Inner Critic.
We all know that voice. The one that has a sharp tongue and rarely a kind word…whispering (or not) at all hours of the day (and sometimes night) about how we don’t belong, can’t measure up, and won’t succeed. What if we could find creative ways to refocus our self-talk so the inner critic becomes a source of reflection and intuitive challenge?
Our time together in this engaging session will center around squarely addressing our assumptions and breaking our thinking patterns. We will identify three realistic practices to repurpose self-talk and boost awareness, empathy, and grace toward ourselves on our journey.
Event Agenda:
- 8:00 a.m. – 8:30 a.m. (Networking & Breakfast)

- 8:45 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. (Keynote Presentation and Q&A)

ALL ARE WELCOME! Chamber Business Women+ (CBW+) promotes the progression and advancement of professional women through the education and sharing of ideas and experiences. We invite everyone (of all gender identities) who supports this mission to join the events.
