Take your next step forward

May 1, 2020 | News & Events

As much as we love to bask in the beauty in the grandiose outcome, it is also just as important to remain more aware of some of the small steps we can take, as they have just as much to do with the massive impact on the world around us.

We at Talk Boutique want you to continue taking those small steps, and building from where you are right now, and the goal for us is to finally look back and not recognize where you started.

Our sense-making conversations are put together with the hopes that you continue to adapt and evolve. We do this as our way of thanking you for the support you’ve given us over the years. We have the content, we have resources, and we want to help you continue to stay engaged and continue to move forward.

This upcoming week you can expect a different schedule with TWO Virtual Lunch & Learns both on Thursday, May 7, and Friday, May 8, at 12:30 pm.
As well as our “Ask Me Anything” style forum with our Changemakers20, on Wednesday & this week, also at 12:30 pm.

Creating Capacity for Optimized Focus, Wellness and Productivity

Melanie Sodka
Capacity Creator
Back by popular demand for a longer segment- this session has Melanie using one of her frameworks CapacityCreator™ Matrix to help individuals self-identify the state of capacity they are operating out of. From there, participants will have an idea of how to navigate and deconstruct their commitment patterns while evaluating where they are most distracted.

After discovering the 4 states of capacity, CEO Melanie Sodka has become a leading advocate for people and teams needing to better leverage their personal and professional capacities.


We want to do our part. We have content, we have resources, and we’d love to strategize how we can help you through these uncertain times.

Most importantly, stay healthy, stay safe, and stay connected,
