The holidays promise joy - but for most professional women, they deliver a to-do list. Between family expectations, work deadlines, and everyone else’s needs coming first, December has a way of draining you before you ever get to enjoy it.
This year, walk into the season with a plan instead of a prayer.
Join speaker Jasmine Johansen-Hickman, executive leadership coach and founder of JMJH Coaching, whose expertise in leadership wellness, sustainable performance, and human-centered leadership helps professionals navigate workplace demands with greater clarity, balance, and intention, for a practical, conversation-driven session on protecting your peace through the most demanding weeks of the year.
No fluff, no vague “self-care” talk—just real strategies you can use the same night you leave.
What you’ll learn:
- Protect Your Peace - Spot your top holiday stress triggers before they hit, and learn simple techniques to manage them in the moment (yes, even at the family dinner table).
- Set Boundaries Without Guilt - Practice saying “no” with confidence - to overbooked calendars, unrealistic expectations, and people who’ve come to count on your yes.
- Pour Back Into Yourself - Build a realistic self-care rhythm that fits your actual life, so your energy lasts through New Year’s instead of running out by mid-December.
The evening at a glance:
- 6:00 PM - Arrive, settle in, order if you’d like (food available for purchase)

Whether you’re an IAW member, new to our community, or just tired of ending every holiday season running on empty - this evening is for you. Bring a friend who needs it too (we all know one).
Attendance is FREE, but seats are limited - and this session comes right at the moment the season starts speeding up. Reserve your spot now so you’re ready before the rush begins.
Come December 31, you’ll either be refreshed or recovering. Choose refreshed.
