WHY THIS WORKSHOP? WHY NOW?

We already know what we’re supposed to do. So why is it still so hard to feel steady?

It’s good advice, but it's not enough.

WHEN THE STORM HITS

Stress disconnects us from the very things that keep us steady.

Perspective narrows.

Urgency takes over.

Everything feels ours to solve alone.

THIS WORKSHOP OFFERS ANOTHER WAY

Together, we’ll explore resilience as something relational.

Meet reality honestly.

Return to yourself.

Root into community.

Part workshop, part meaning-making, and part collective problem-solving, 
this is a live, deeply human experience we create together. 

Bring one real “storm” from your own life: a decision, transition, relationship, professional challenge, or persistent question.

You’ll apply a new model of resilience to what you’re actually facing, find a clearer next step, and experience what can shift when you navigate it alongside others.

Because none of us stays rooted alone.

You can still register. Everyone who purchases a ticket will be sent a recording of the workshop afterward.

No. Bring something real to reflect on, and choose how much you share. You can join the discussion aloud, use the chat, or keep your reflections private.

What’s included in the $49 ticket?

The 90-minute live workshop, an optional 30-minute Q&A and problem-solving session immediately afterward, a recording sent after the event, and a PDF guide for navigating your next storm.

What is the private coaching option?

Choose the workshop + private coaching bundle for $200 total at checkout. You’ll have a 60-minute private coaching session with Katya to bring your own storm into focus. Together, we’ll uncover patterns beneath the challenge, explore how you’re relating to it, and find a realistic next step you can act on. You might bring a career transition, a decision you keep overthinking, a conversation you want to approach with more presence, or a change you’re unsure how to navigate. This is a dedicated hour for your situation, your questions, and Katya’s perspective and problem-solving alongside you.

Katya Davydova

Katya Davydova is an ICF-certified executive coach, keynote and TEDx speaker, and leadership facilitator. Over the past decade, she has led 800+ workshops and reached 7,500+ leaders through her work with organizations like Google, Netflix, Instacart, and e.l.f.

After years of working with thoughtful, capable leaders, Katya noticed a recurring gap. Many people know what helps them live and lead well, yet struggle to reach for those practices when life gets stormy. Drawing on behavior-change science, global wisdom traditions, and her experience of guiding people through moments of uncertainty, Katya created this workshop to explore how we relate to the storms we face—and how we can stay rooted within them.
