Houston Business Women was honored to welcome Dhara as a panelist at our 2025 annual Summit, where she spoke to over 250 powerhouse women from across Houston. She delivered real, authentic insights paired with practical solutions that truly resonated with attendees who came ready to learn, grow and take action.

Signature talks

04

Building a Business With Authority aka Proof Tax

Personal brand and visibility for founders and senior leaders

Your audience leaves able to: talk about their work without shrinking it; build visibility that does not depend on going viral; put a point of view on the record.

01

Building Your Resilient Muscle 

Leading a team through change, restructuring, and uncertainty

Your audience leaves able to: name what is actually within their control when the org chart moves again; run a hard conversation with their team without pretending things are fine; recover faster from the setback that would previously have cost them a month.

02

Creating Your Own Box

Career ownership and non-linear paths for high performers

Your audience leaves able to: stop waiting for permission that is not coming; describe the career they want in specific terms rather than as a job title; identify which part of their current path they built and which part they inherited.

03

Ditching the Nice Girl and Being Assertive

Assertive communication and executive presence for women in leadership

Your audience leaves able to: say the harder version of what they meant; take up the room they are already entitled to; tell the difference between being liked and being respected, and choose on purpose.

"Dhara's session, "The Proof Tax," was one of the most talked about moments of My Mind Is My Business™ 2026."

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING

She named something our audience feels every day but rarely has language for: that burnout isn't from working too hard, it's from constantly proving yourself to a world that underestimated you. The room felt it.
Dhara doesn't just teach,
she gives people permission to stopperforming.

That's exactly the kind of speaker My Mind Is My Business™ exists to platform. I am looking forward to other opportunities for Dhara to bless the audience.

LaKisha M. Mosley
Founder, My Mind Is My Business™
CEO, The LM Experience

IF YOU KNOW

The people in your audience need to ditch the nice girl and start getting what they want as who they are–

let’s make it so shoving themselves into a box isn’t an option anymore.
