"I found myself using the practices from our session exactly as we practiced before a meeting with potential investors - and the impact was amazing."Adi Noy - Founder, Portugal
"I was so calm and clear while still being able to express everything that had been upsetting me. The very next day, he invited me to meet his son. It feels like a blocker in our relationship has finally been resolved."- Warm Edge Client
You see yourself in one or both of these scenarios:
You want to nail an investor pitch and lock in the money
You have a tenth of a second to make an impression. That's where the room makes its first decision about you. Most women struggle in two exact places: how they show up when they present, and staying grounded the moment pushback starts - the hard questions, the no, where most women lose their ground. That's where the second decision about you gets made. Your idea can be fundable, and you can still lose the pitch the moment the investor pushes back.
You are avoiding a tough conversation
You have the words. You've repeated them in your head, maybe a hundred times. And still, you haven't said it. Maybe it's personal - the partner who locks up the moment you press your point. Maybe it's professional - a boss, a colleague, a room that meets you in a way that makes you freeze. You say it, and it comes out wrong. Too masculine, and they shut down. Too much feminine, and nothing changes. So you hold it in, and carry the weight and resentment instead.
3 out of 4 senior executive women experience imposter syndrome - and success doesn't cure it. 54% say the higher they climb, the lonelier it gets, because each step puts them in a new peer group. The cost is real: women who don't negotiate lose around $1 million in lifetime earnings over conversations they never started.
It's not a competence gap. It's what got embedded in their bodies since a young age. And it can be reprogrammed.
Most high-achieving women have built everything from drive, logic, intentionality - the masculine edge that got them here. But in the hard conversation, or the Q&A, that same drive either fires too hard, or swings to its opposite: people-pleasing to compensate. Neither lands.
What's missing isn't power. It's the feminine intelligence they set aside on the way up - the warmth, the presence, the ability to hold strong intention and stay warm at the same time.
What's missing is the right embodied state - in your body, not your mind.
That's what changes it.
That's what you'll learn here.
"I attended Chen's workshop in NYC. If you want to be successful personally and professionally, Chen Lizra avoids the pitfalls of business skills and techniques and instead takes you to the heart of the matter: the human factor. The body, our primary home, is where we learn to love, trust, and act. Chen brings you home, and restores connection. You take off for your highest reach."Esther Perel - Psychotherapist, 2× NYT Bestselling Author
*Research: Albert Mehrabian, 1967 studies of emotional communication
When verbal and nonverbal signals conflict, up to 93% of perceived attitude comes from tone and facial expression.
And yet boardrooms, investor pitches, high-stakes meetings, and the hard conversation at home
are won or lost on those 93%.
When your nervous system is tight or rushed - the room feels it.
When you are grounded and anchored - the room responds.
"Before people decide what they think of your message, they decide what they think of you. Leaders are judged first on warmth and competence.
Competence without warmth leaves people feeling suspicious."

You learned to protect yourself from both.
Bringing down the armour - without losing your power. That's the Warm Edge. And it can be learned.
Calm & Unshakeable
A grounded internal anchor that holds during the hard conversation or investor pitching - no losing yourself or your confidence under pressure, no imposter syndrome taking over.
Intention That Shifts the Conversation
A physical state of strong intention you can raise consciously before you go in - so you enter for connection, not combat, and win them over.
Warmth as Your Edge
The ability to hold strong intention and warmth at the same time - so your directness doesn't cost you the relationship, or the investing round.
Pride as Anchor
Not arrogance. Pride that is deeply internal - held in the body as an unshakeable anchor. The final element that brings everything together, so you can say the hard thing - or make the ask - with warmth.

You bring a real conversation or scenario you've been carrying - whether that's the truth you owe a partner or boss, or the investor pitch you need to open with confidence. One you know you need to have or shift, but haven't found the way. We work it live. Each round, you go deeper - stripping out the protection, finding the voice underneath.
You find out which pattern is running you - over-driving or over-yielding - through the body, not the mind. When you're truly met by Chen through a felt experience, what's been quietly costing your outcomes starts to surface and release. Women who felt their intention at a 5 left at 9 - not from motivation, from finding a state inside them that is more powerful.
Push harder to be heard, or soften to seem approachable - most high-achieving women default to one at the cost of the other. Too much masculine. Too much feminine. Sabrosura is the third way: authority and warmth in the same breath. Your body learns to hold strong intention and warmth at the same time - so you can pitch with authority while staying relatable, intentional, and approachable, or say the hard thing without losing the room or the relationship.
Most high-achieving women have been quietly trained not to own their achievements - pride feels too close to arrogance. It isn't. Pride is internal: feeling good about who you are, not better than anyone. You surface your proudest moments and hold them in the body as emotional anchors. Then it all comes together - elegance, intention, sabrosura, and pride - practiced as one. The shift: from the girl who manages herself to the wise female leader who walks in whole and wins them over.
One story starts outside the room entirely. A day or two after an investor meeting, Adi Noy, a founder in our community, sent me a voice message. Not her first investor meeting - she'd done several before. She told me what she practiced from what she'd learned with us on the way to the investor meeting, and that it worked.
Adi: "I found myself using the practices from our session exactly as we practiced before a meeting with potential investors - and the impact was amazing."
Then, one needed to speak to the man she loves - without it turning into blame. When she first delivered it, her words were clear. Her logic was sound. But her heart was behind a wall - and from behind that wall, her message sounded like an accusation. Not an opening.
We worked together. Each round, she dropped deeper - stripping away the protection, finding the voice underneath. And then something shifted. She delivered it crying - in her full power, completely vulnerable. From a place so open, so unguarded, so real - that every woman in that room got goosebumps. Including me.
Participant: "It's so hard to speak with emotions."
Chen: "It's hard because it makes us vulnerable. But if you don't touch him with your emotions - how will he understand what it means for you? It's not about the facts."
The third needed to speak to her boss - a controlling man. And in his presence, something shifted in her. She's completely competent. She knows exactly what she's doing. But when he treated her as small, she felt small - and she felt she needed to prove herself. She was either pulling back or pushing too hard - voice rising, body bracing.
So instead of softening her voice, I gave her body protection to hold - so she no longer needed volume to compensate. When she felt that in her body, her voice changed on its own. Calm. Clear. Impossible to dismiss.
This is what happens inside the program.

Four sessions. A shift that changes every conversation and investor pitch.

"After years of business coaching and still feeling something was missing, Chen showed me the difference between 'doing' and 'being.' Learning to align the two changed everything. I experience far less anxiety, my presence in rooms has shifted, and my relationships have markedly improved."Sheryl L. Houch - Founder, Cash Offers Consultants
"I finally understand what it means to feel grounded and connected - and how that transforms the way I show up professionally. It's been transformative in how I think, move, and lead. My only regret is I didn't find Chen sooner."Aiki Altmets - Founder & COO
Yes. Chen leads every session live. You'll receive personal feedback from her directly - on your embodied state, your delivery, how your message lands. This is not a facilitated group, it's Chen's work, delivered directly.
All sessions are recorded and replays are available for one month. That said, the live experience - the somatic work, the breakout rooms, the group energy - cannot be replicated in a recording. We strongly encourage attending live.
My Money Back Guarantee: attend Session 1 live (not via replay), and if it truly doesn't land in your body and you get no value from it, tell me by the end of that session and you'll be refunded in full. Outside of that, registrations are non-refundable, though your spot may be transferred to another qualified female founder or executive if she meets the criteria, up to 48 hours before the program starts.
You will practice out loud, in the group, and in pairs in breakout rooms. It's challenging - and that's the point. The group is intentionally small, professionally curated, and the environment is built for safety. You will be stretched, not exposed. Leaving your comfort zone means shifting, and that's what you really want.
Communications programs teach what to say and how to structure it. This works from the body up. Most hard conversations fail not because the words are wrong - but because the state underneath them isn't right. Investor pitches don't fail because the slides aren't good, but because you don't embody the message. That's what we train here.
Four sessions - a shift that changes every conversation and investor pitch.
