Women's Leadership Summit - Empowering Women and Girls to Take Up Space in Life, Body, and Ambition

Join Anne Marie Chaker, author of the inspiring new book LIFT, for a transformative session at The HFA Show. In this empowering talk, Anne Marie will explore how women and girls can reclaim space in their lives—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Through candid discussion, she will address the importance of strength training, understanding our bodies, and nurturing mental well-being. Discover how women are redefining what it means to take up space, whether as teenagers or adults, and learn how new support structures are emerging to help women grow into their fullest potential. From the wisdom of strength and resilience to the shifting narrative on self-empowerment, this session will leave you with the tools and inspiration to take up more space in every aspect of your life.

Following her brief presentation, Anne Marie will lead a powerful panel discussion with a group of dynamic leaders who are actively empowering women and girls and fostering these very spaces. Panelists include:

Adam Zeitsiff, CEO of Dominique Dawes Academy, who is dedicated to helping young girls build confidence through sports

Mel Tempest, Podcast Host Women’s Leaders Fitness Business Podcast, championing women into supportive growth opportunities

Allison Flately, CEO of Allison Flately Consulting, who focuses on creating strong leadership pathways for women
