      <title>Strengthen Your Voice as a Leader Through Play with Darlene Hawley (14 Apr 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center" style="line-height: 25px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;strong style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 22px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.csweet.org/resources/Pictures/April%20Coach%20Workshop%202026.png" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 32px;" align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 28px;"&gt;Strengthen Your Voice as a Leader Through Play&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="line-height: 31px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A" style="font-size: 20px;"&gt;Tuesday, April 14th&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="line-height: 31px; margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A" style="font-size: 20px;"&gt;12:00 PM PT / 1:00 PM ET&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px; margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="justify" style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;In this playful improv-infused experience, we’ll explore the five components of vocal empowerment and how they shape the way we communicate as leaders. Many talented leaders hold back from speaking up in meetings, sharing ideas, or navigating hard conversations—not because they lack expertise, but because something internally or physiologically gets in the way.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="justify" style="margin-bottom: 0px !important; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="justify" style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;You'll engage in a few playful, low-pressure activities to help you get more comfortable using your voice in real time.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="line-height: 24px; margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;In today’s economic climate, more executive women are rethinking what true financial success means and how to move beyond income toward freedom, influence, and lasting legacy.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

She will help you build a framework on what to do with your money and when to do it, based on what's most important to you. Before you leave, you will unlock new levels of choice, power, and long-term impact.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

She began her career with Edward Jones in 2001 and has spent more than two decades helping clients make thoughtful, confident decisions about their money—while gently reminding them that clarity usually matters more than perfection.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify" style="line-height: 20px; margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify" style="line-height: 20px; margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Erin is known for creating a space where complex financial conversations feel approachable, grounded, and human. She works closely with women to align wealth with what matters most—family, career, impact, and the elusive idea of balance.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify" style="line-height: 20px; margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify" style="line-height: 20px; margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A mother of four sons and a former competitive powerlifter, Erin understands what it means to carry real weight, both literally and figuratively. She often jokes that after raising four boys, very few financial conversations feel intimidating—and she brings that same calm, capable perspective into every room she enters.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px; margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

She thrives in high-pressure, fast-paced environments and leads a proactive, data-driven team that distinguishes between transactional and strategic priorities.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

She's spent two decades working with hundreds of authors and collaborators across all levels of content creation. That's long enough to know that not all ideas take the same shape—and she believes that's a good thing. Her book development work begins with an intention-first genre framework called the Clarity Spectrum, then expands as needed to carry deep thinkers and changemakers through their own unique process—until both the author and their book have emerged.&lt;/font&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
