Drawing from CURATED's Season 1: Image Architecture, this workshop introduces the framework for treating every element of your appearance, environment, and presence as a conscious design decision. Your wardrobe, your space, the way you walk into a room — none of it is neutral. We audit the defaults and begin building the blueprint. Guided prompts from The CURATED Method workbook. Copies available.

  • 3:00 PM
    CURATED Workshop #2 — "Presence by Design" Kasondra · CURATED Led by Kasondra McConnell · 90 min · There is almost always a gap between how you see yourself and how the world receives you — and most women have never been given the tools to examine it. This session goes deep into the mechanics of presence: the signals you send before you speak, the visual story you're telling in professional and personal spaces, and the disconnect that quietly costs you rooms, opportunities, and relationships. We close that gap on purpose. Using The CURATED Method framework, you leave with a clear presence audit and a redesign intention you can execute at home. The CURATED Method workbook is your take-home companion.
