The Art of Badassery uses the ancient wisdom of martial arts as a backdrop for leadership principles for modern warriors. Jennifer walks attendees on a journey from white belt to eventually achieving their black belt in badassery. The belt levels include:

White Belt: Embrace the Suck. Life is not one long smooth ride. Things that suck are going to happen (hello pandemic) and the sooner we can accept this as fact, the sooner we can move on. 

Yellow Belt: Bounce Back. Here I will share 3 strategies of how to bounce back after life has knocked you down.

Orange Belt: Block the BS. Learn different blocking styles to shield yourself from negativity. (interactive exercise)

Green Belt: Find Your Roar. Review your three modes of communication: physiology, tonality and vocabulary. (Interactive exercise)

Blue Belt: Elevate your energy. In order to prevent burnout, you must practice radical self care on your journey to black belt.

Black Belt: Take the Lead. Nobody is going to anoint you as a leader of your community. You can start to lead by demonstrating the characteristics of a true leader by taking a stand for others. (interactive exercise)
