My Experience at ‘Unmute’ – A Retreat for Women Ready to Lead with Confidence & Presence

Sometimes leadership isn’t about finding your voice.
It’s about giving yourself permission to use it. 💫



I recently spent two days at Unmute – a Retreat for Women Ready to Lead with Confidence and Presence – and I came away with so much more than I expected!

The biggest highlight?
The women. ❤️

An incredible group of women, each brilliant in her own way, each at a different point in her journey – exploring leadership, boundaries, clarity, purpose, confidence, identity and simply… becoming more of who they are.

We talked. We laughed. We reflected… and We Unmuted parts of our own selves in different ways.



🦋 We explored somatic practices, guided exercises, self-reflection and some wonderfully honest conversations. And there was something powerful about being in a room where people could put their professional titles aside and simply show up as themselves.



🦄 It reminded me that leadership development isn’t always about acquiring another skill or learning another framework.
Sometimes it’s about:
✨ trusting yourself a little more
✨ understanding what you truly need
✨ setting boundaries without guilt
✨ finding the courage to speak up
✨ and creating enough space to hear your own voice



A huge thank you to Alicia Ingruber and Amanda Gandolpho for creating such a thoughtful and welcoming space. The intention, energy and care behind Unmute really came through. 💜

I left feeling inspired, connected and reminded that the strongest leadership often begins with the relationship we have with ourselves.
Definitely looking forward to joining future events and continuing these conversations.

Guess who just levelled up in the agile universe? 🚀 I’m thrilled to share that I’ve officially earned the Advanced Certified ScrumMaster (A-CSM) certification, a prestigious milestone for agile leaders, coaches, and Scrum Masters! 🏅

This journey wasn’t just about the certificate (although it does feel good to have it in my portfolio!) – it was about embracing continuous learning, stepping out of my comfort zone, and investing in my growth as a professional and as a person.

Here’s the thing: Growth doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when you choose to prioritize learning, say yes to challenges, and remind yourself that there’s always more to explore. 🌱

This journey has been an incredible deep dive into advanced Scrum practices, fostering team dynamics, facilitating agile processes, and creating environments where teams thrive and deliver value consistently.

Here are a few key takeaways from this certification:

  • The art of servant leadership: Empowering teams while giving them the space to innovate and grow.
  • Advanced facilitation techniques to navigate challenges and boost collaboration.
  • Building a culture of continuous improvement, focusing on delivering value sprint after sprint.
  • Strategies for addressing team dynamics and unlocking each team member’s potential.

This certification is more than just a badge—it’s a reflection of my commitment to continuous learning and evolving as a Scrum Master, agile leader, and team enabler. 🚀

💡 I’m excited to apply these insights to empower teams, improve agility, and help organizations achieve their goals. If you’re passionate about agile, Scrum, or leadership, let’s connect and exchange ideas!
