Your Strategy Reset Event
I had the privilege to capture the Your Strategy Reset event last month at the beautiful Wave Resort in Long Branch, NJ.
This unique event was hosted by Gia Lacqua and Shannon McGorry.
Gia Lacqua is a renowned trauma-informed certified & empowerment coach, international motivational speaker, podcast host, children’s book author, board officer, and leadership expert known for her transformative work with high-performing women.
Shannon McGorry is a Professional Certified Coach, founder of Love, Strength, and Grace, and the creator of Activate Your Female Genius™.
These two incredible coaches came together and founded Your Strategy Reset. A one-day personalized event to help women realign their lives and step into their authenticity, growth, and fulfillment. Gia and Shannon are the alignment strategists to guide the attendees throughout the event, so they can walk away with clarity and strategy to make impactful changes in their lives.
Gia and Shannon came to me because this was their first Your Strategy Reset event, and they wanted me to capture the photos and short video clips for their social media and future event promotions. All of my event photography includes photos of the space, decorations, food, guests or attendees, and candid photos that capture the vibe of the event. Gia and Shannon requested to include photos of them speaking, photos of the panelists, and a somatic grounding session.
The weather was perfect on the day of the event. The beautiful natural light shines through into the event space of the Wave Resort, which it was surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows.
The event started at 9 am and ended at 6 pm.
The morning session includes check-in, breakfast, networking, welcome remarks, setting intentions for the day, Shannon’s Activate Your Female Genius™ workshop, and Gia’s Radical Prioritization™ workshop.
The attendees took a short break before participating in a somatic grounding session with Vanessa Van Noy, a distinguished yoga teacher and author of Eight Limbed Life. This was the first time I heard about somatic grounding, and it was so interesting! Such a beautiful session to focus on intentional movement, breathing, and connecting with the present moment.
After the somatic grounding session, the attendees enjoyed some delicious lunch while attending The Zone of Genius Live: Stepping into Your Next Chapter with Power, Purpose, and Compassion with three expert panelists, Sarah Bernardi Carkner (a public speaker and author of Gym Shorts: 10 Lessons I Learned on the Fitness Floor), Alyssa Scarano (an online therapist, coach, and founder of The Collective Therapy & Wellness), and Vanessa Van Noy.
The afternoon session includes the Your Power Plan workshop with Gia, an integration lab using their workbook, and then ends with Anchoring Your Reset with Gia and Shannon.
At the end of the event, the attendees enjoyed some signature mocktails and passed hors d’oeuvres to end the night.
The event and the energy were incredible! Women from all walks of life came and made time for themselves, eager to learn, and are ready to start living their lives on their terms. It was such a refreshing day, even though I was working.
Thank you for having me, Gia and Shannon! It was a pleasure working with you both. If you are interested in learning more, visit the Your Strategy Reset website. Follow Gia and Shannon on social media.
