Join us Wednesday, April 1 for this month’s luncheon featuring Susan Beth Breuner with Strong Confident Femininity: Being Seen Without Performing
Susan Beth Breuner is the founder of Strong Confident Femininity and a photographer whose work centers on helping women reconnect with their sense of self, presence, and embodied confidence. Through years of working closely with women across life stages and professional paths, Susan has observed a recurring truth: many capable, accomplished women learn to perform in order to be valued—often at the expense of feeling truly seen. Her work and speaking invite women into a quieter, more honest understanding of femininity as self-trust rather than performance, and visibility as presence rather than approval.
What does it actually mean to be seen as a woman in business?
Not noticed.
Not praised.
Not admired for what you do.
Seen.
This presentation explores a question rarely asked in professional spaces:
What happens when the way we seek recognition prevents us from being truly known?
Through story rather than theory, Strong Confident Femininity: Being Seen Without Performing invites women to examine how femininity, confidence, and self-trust evolve across seasons of life and leadership. It speaks to women who are building, leading, caregiving, mentoring, creating—and wondering why being successful doesn’t always translate into feeling fully themselves.
Grounded, thoughtful, and deeply human, this talk offers insight without instruction, reflection without pressure, and a reframing of femininity as presence rather than performance.
