Most of us have been told to love ourselves as we age. What we've never been given is a way to actually see ourselves differently.
Perception as Power is a keynote that doesn't just inspire — it gives audiences a tool to shift how they see themselves. In real time. In the room.
Stephanie Burden is a professional speaker and actor who has spent 30+ years on stage — regionally, nationally, and internationally. She did her first professional show in 5th grade, and has spent her career watching what happens when talented women and men decide that they’ve aged out of being interesting.
Some of them shrank. Some of them didn't. She wanted to know why.
Perception as Power grew out of that question — and out of her own years of fighting her reflection and eventually discovering that the tool she needed wasn't a product. It was a practice.
She's been running that practice for years now. This talk is what she learned.
"I realized I had never thought about aging this way before. It completely reframed something I didn't even know I was carrying."
— Siobhan Carroll, Next Minute Productions
"Engaging from start to finish — I didn't notice the time passing. And I'm still thinking about it."
— Leslie Connelly, UCLA MFA Creative Sessions
"What struck me was how far this goes beyond beauty. The cognitive reframing she teaches applies to so many other areas of life."
— Deborah O’Neill, West Roxbury Artists Group
