They rarely consider that the real cap isn’t tactical: it’s psychological. And it doesn’t announce itself as fear. It shows up as “being smart\,” “waiting for the right time\,” or “needing more data.” \nIn this talk\, Gabi uses an adventure story to expose how fear masquerades as logic and quietly kills momentum. Attendees will identify their specific growth edge\, recognize the fear patterns blocking their next milestone\, and leave with a strategic action plan to move past stagnation. This isn’t about confidence-building. It’s about seeing the decision point that’s been hiding in plain sight and choosing differently. \nWhether you’re stuck at six figures\, plateaued in visibility\, or cycling through the same revenue ceiling year after year\, this framework shows you where fear is running your business decisions and what to do about it. \nCore Objectives \n1. Clarity on Your Actual Next Move \nYou’ll walk away knowing the specific milestone between where you are now and where you’re trying to go— not the entire roadmap\, just the next clear checkpoint. No more vague goals or waiting for the “perfect” vision. You’ll have named what you actually want and be able to act on it immediately. \n2. Freedom From Catastrophic Thinking \nYou’ll leave with the ability to separate the story your fear is telling from the actual consequence of taking the risk. Most people are paralyzed by imagined disasters that will never happen. You’ll learn to assess real risk so you can make strategic decisions instead of fear-based ones. \n3. The Leadership to Act From Commitment\, Not Confidence \nYou’ll gain the skill to recognize when self-talk is sabotaging your momentum and justifying retreat. You’ll know how to commit to the scary\, hard move at your edge of discomfort\, even when fear is still present\, and refuse to let it run your next quarter. This is the difference between people who break through and people who stay stuck. \nAbout our presentor\, Gabi Robledo: \nGabi teaches women how to lead their lives from internal authority\, self-trust\, and courage instead of external validation and burnout. \nHer work is built on a simple but uncomfortable truth: most people don’t lack confidence—they lack internal authority. They’ve built impressive lives\, hit milestones\, achieved externally\, and still feel like they’re auditioning for the right to exist as they are. \nA TEDx speaker\, co-founder of Nomads With A Purpose\, and facilitator of 100+ breathwork journeys\, Gabi was raised off-grid in an RV—an unconventional foundation that taught her courage as a practice\, not a personality trait. Now based in Bend\, Oregon\, she guides leaders through adventure-based retreats and high-ticket transformational experiences using the Enneagram and Gene Keys frameworks. \nShe works with high-achievers across industries\, entrepreneurs\, creatives\, and leaders who’ve achieved externally but still feel like they’re auditioning for the right to exist as they are. Her approach is direct\, embodied\, and free of generic personal development language. She doesn’t motivate people into action\, she shows them where fear is making their decisions and what to do about it. \nSee and read more about Gabi on these platforms: \nhttps://www.instagram.com/gabirobledo \nhttps://www.facebook.com/gabi.robledo.211308/ \nhttps://www.youtube.com/@nomadswithapurpose \nhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/gabirobledo/ \n  URL:https://connectw.org/event/april-2026-monthly-meeting/ LOCATION:High Desert Music Hall\, 818 SW Forest Ave\, Redmond\, OR\, 97756 CATEGORIES:ConnectW Events,Monthly Meetings ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://connectw.org/wp-content/uploads/WEBSITE-IMAGE-The-Growth-Ceiling-Gabi-Robledo-v2.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260420T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260420T103000 DTSTAMP:20260403T143001 CREATED:20260322T192357Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260322T194027Z UID:10000341-1776675600-1776681000@connectw.org SUMMARY:Membership Essentials 2026 DESCRIPTION:Join us on Monday\, April 20\, 2026\, for Membership Essentials\, an informative session designed to help you fully understand and leverage the benefits of being part of ConnectW\, Central Oregon’s premier organization for professional businesswomen.
