This Is Your Visible Era
Not the one where you’re figuring it out. Not the one where you’re proving yourself. The one where you are fully seen. Where your presence matches your power. Where your decisions land clean. Where you stop editing yourself down to fit the room.
This is not another event. This is a line in the sand.

is not another women’s conference.
It is a leadership calibration room for women who are done shrinking, softening, over-explaining, or waiting for permission.
This year, we step into something deeper.
Unapologetic visibility.
Not louder for the sake of noise.
Not visibility for validation.
Not performative confidence.
This is about:
owning your expertise
claiming your authority
making your next move without hesitation
The VERVE Experience with Suzanne Castle™ is where powerful women come to refine how they show up in rooms, on stages, in boardrooms, online, and in their own decisions.
You will leave: Clearer. Bolder. More decisive. And far less available for playing small.
This is for the woman who:
Knows she is capable of more but feels under seen
Has results, experience, and wisdom, but hesitates to take up space
Is tired of being the best kept secret in her industry
Wants to speak, lead, build, scale, or pivot with conviction
Is done asking if she is "too much"
This is for founders, executives, creatives, experts, speakers, and decision-makers who are ready for their presence to match their power.
This is not for the woman who:
Is looking for surface-level motivation.
Wants to stay comfortable and invisible.
Wants to blame timing, the algorithm, the market, or their audience.
You are unwilling to examine how you self censor, self minimize, or self sabotage, this will feel confronting.
If you are unwilling to examine where you self-censor, self-minimize, or self-sabotage, this will feel confronting.
The VERVE Experience with Suzanne Castle™ is for women who are ready to be seen and are willing to do what that requires – internally and externally.
The Energy
This is not hustle culture. This is champagne CEO energy with sand under your feet.This is confident women who know they are powerful and are finally done playing small. You are not blending in. You are shining on purpose.
The Audience Says…
reviews from attendees
Forget the old empire.
Ease is the new empire.
This is where it begins. Before the main room opens. Before the sessions start. Before the energy builds. You step into proximity.
Thursday Evening | The Reception
An intimate, oceanfront evening. Firelight. S’mores. Champagne.
No programming. No pressure. No performing. Just connection. This is where walls come down. Where real conversations begin. Where the room starts to form. Connection first.
Friday Morning | The Glitterati Experience
8:30 – 11:30 AM This is not a keynote. This is not a panel. This is a curated leadership morning designed for the woman who is done with surface-level conversations. And in this room, you get both of us. Together, this morning is part fireside conversation, part facilitated leadership workshop, and entirely unlike anything you have experienced at an event before. And to close the morning…
Suzanne Castle brings the identity work
the clarity, the calibration, the moment where you stop performing leadership
and start inhabiting it.
This is the work she is known for.
And in a room of 20, it lands at a level the main stage cannot replicate.
Susan Smalley brings the facilitation
15 years as Director of Employee and Organization Development at The Walt Disney Studios, now founder of Essential Leadership Partners, and one of the most respected executive coaches working today. Her clients include Sony Pictures, Mattel, Hasbro, and NBC/Universal.
She does not teach leadership as theory. She teaches it as something you embody.
Justine Reiss brings the storytelling work
Suzanne takes the seat across from an award-winning voice artist and Vocal Empowerment Specialist who has spent 25+ years helping leaders, founders, and changemakers use their voice and story to create connection, influence, and impact.
She’s operated at the highest levels of Hollywood, worked with C-suite leaders and global brands, and understands what it means to use your voice in rooms most people never get into.
This is not a keynote. This is a conversation.
Led by Suzanne. Unscripted. Unfiltered. A conversation about what happens when you stop simply being seen and start using your voice to move people to action.
The Integration Lunch
11:30 AM – 12:30 PM No rush. No agenda. Just space to process, connect, and expand. Because integration is part of transformation.
Intentional Pause
12:30 – 2:00 PM Time to reset. To breathe. To reflect. To prepare. This is not a break. This is part of the design.
20 seats. Leaders who operate at the highest level.
Three hours that will change how you walk into every room after this. This is what the Glitterati upgrade was built for.

meet the relationships that will carry them forward.
Designed. Curated. Part of the program.

stops being an insight and becomes a way of being.
You will leave this room knowing exactly who you are and exactly what you are going back to do.
No hedging.
No softening.
No waiting.
12:00 – 1:30 PM | Lunch
1:30 PM | Closing Sessions
The last room.
The final word.
Yours.
3:30 PM | Close
Not an ending.
A shift.
Speakers
We don’t fill a lineup. We curate a conversation. Every voice in this room was chosen because they lead at a level that makes the room better. Because what they know is exactly what you need right now.

You already know. You can feel it. That pull. That knowing. That moment where something in you says: “This is mine.”
This is not about attending another event.
This is about stepping into the version of you
who no longer second-guesses her next move.
So the question is not: “Should I go?”
The question is: Are you ready to be seen at the level you’ve been operating all along?
120 seats. When it’s full, it’s full.
Securing your spot takes less than two minutes.
Because when you are stepping into unapologetic visibility, you do not do it under fluorescent lights.
You do it where the sky feels wide.
Where champagne hits different at sunset.
Where the Pacific Ocean reminds you that your fear is not the biggest thing in the room.
Shorebreak is CEO meets coastal cool. Intentional, but never overproduced.
not your average business woman conference
Just imagine…
Sequins at sunset
Gold heels on ocean breeze concrete
Sparkle catching the light against a rooftop skyline
Conversations that shift your business while waves crash a block away
You are not hiding in a dark conference hall.
You are leading out loud, with the ocean as your witness.
It Matters because environment shapes expansion.
Natural light sharpens thinking.
Open air calms your nervous system.
Movement between sessions keeps you embodied and clear.
This is visibility training without tension.
This is sparkle without apology.
This is the room where your presence matches your ambition.

Your Host
Suzanne Castle
I love confetti, sparkly drinks and car dance parties. And my own sparkle factor has had to sustain the complexities of loss, disappointment, reinvention and time—from the big stage to the smallest of rooms.
Recapturing the glimmer in my soul has taken years of patient practicing and being stubborn about my own takeover plan of the universe to unleash a sense of can’t-stop-me-mojo-making-magic from life to biz for leaders who are tired of the overwhelm and stuck in unhelpful narratives.
I think being flawsome rocks. I think throwing yourself parties to celebrate making it through matters. I think being in a room of women changing the world is magical.
My work has been featured in 3 best-selling books, magazines, tv, radio and countless podcasts. And these days I love pouring into boss babes to help banish the lackluster way of living and leading and reclaim the power that is your own internal sparkle factor.
