Identity & Self-Trust Keynote Speaking

Solita C. Roberts is an identity and self-trust keynote speaker who helps organizations support women in recognizing the unwritten rules shaping how they show up, and building the self-trust to lead, speak up and advocate for themselves. Her talks are designed for women's organizations, ERGs, leadership groups and mental health and wellness events that want to move beyond one-time inspiration to real, lasting change.

At the core of Solita's work is a simple belief: most women aren't short on confidence. They're carrying stories they never chose, like don't be too much, play it safe and wait your turn. When those stories go unexamined, women hold back their ideas, their ambition and their voice.

Through keynotes, workshops and interactive conversations, Solita helps women name those stories, see what they're costing them, and choose the one they're ready to rewrite, at work and in life.

Before stepping on stage, Solita spent fifteen years in banking, executive support and corporate life. She has navigated the unwritten rules from the inside, as an immigrant from Antigua building a new life and career in the United States, and later as the founder of Style to Impact.

Every session blends personal storytelling, guided reflection and practical tools, and is tailored to your audience, your theme and the time you have.

Gutsy Move: Rewriting the Rules You Can't Stop Questioning but Keep Living By

Every woman in your audience is living by a rule she has already questioned.

A warm, interactive keynote that helps women name the unwritten rules shaping how they show up, see what those rules are costing them, and choose the one they're ready to rewrite.

Your audience leaves with: clear language for the stories holding them back, more trust in their own judgment, and one gutsy move they're ready to make right away.

Filtered: AI and How Women See Themselves

Your audience is comparing themselves to faces that don't exist.

A timely, honest keynote on how filters, AI headshots and generated images are shaping how women see themselves, and how to build self-trust that doesn't depend on a perfect image.

Your audience leaves with: a clear view of what AI is teaching them about their worth, simple habits to protect how they see themselves online, and the confidence to show up as their real selves.

Stop Performing Professionalism

Too many women are exhausted from being someone else at work.

An interactive session that unpacks the unspoken definition of professionalism women have been asked to perform, from the accent to the hair to the wardrobe, and helps them build credibility that feels like themselves.

Your audience leaves with: language to question "professional" norms that don't serve them, a clearer sense of their own presence, and practical ways to show up with credibility in how they speak, dress and lead.

Three reasons to book Solita

01

She names the stories women didn't know they were carrying

Most women aren't short on confidence. They're living by unwritten rules they never chose.

Solita helps women recognize those rules in everyday moments, in meetings, in the mirror and in how they show up, and gives them clear language for what has been holding them back.

02

She turns self-trust into something women can practice

Self-trust is often talked about, but rarely taught in a practical way.

Through The Stories We Wear, Solita gives women a simple way to question an inherited story and choose a new one. Instead of waiting to feel confident, women learn to act from self-trust and advocate for themselves in real time.

03

She delivers an experience women remember and use

Solita's sessions go beyond inspiration. They are designed for real life.

Drawing on her own journey from Antigua to Atlanta and fifteen years in corporate life, she creates warm, interactive moments where women see themselves in each other's stories, and leave with one gutsy move they're ready to make.

Because when women trust themselves, they speak up sooner, ask for what they've earned and lead as who they are.

Kind words

Her session delivered clear, actionable insights, strong student engagement, and measurable value. Feedback from students was highly positive, and her presence, confidence, and ability to connect made the session impactful.

Q&A

How I work, why I do this work, and what to expect when you bring me to your event.

Why do you focus on the stories women carry?

Because I carried one too. When I moved from Antigua to Atlanta in 2019, I brought a story that told me I'd be seen as less than without a degree or a long list of accolades. I learned that most women aren't short on confidence. They're living by unwritten rules they never chose, like don't be too much, play it safe and wait your turn. My work, as an Identity & Self-Trust Speaker, starts with those stories, because that's where real change begins.

How is your talk different from a typical confidence or empowerment talk?

It isn't a pep talk that fades by Monday. Instead of telling women to be more confident, I help them name the specific rules shaping how they show up, see what those rules are costing them, and choose one to rewrite. Women leave with language and a next step they can actually use, at work and in life.

Will you tailor the session to our audience and event theme?

Yes, every time. Before your event, we talk about who will be in the audience, what they're navigating right now and what you want them to walk away with. I then shape the stories, examples and activities around your ERG, campus or conference theme.

What will our audience actually do during the session?

Participate. My sessions are warm and interactive, with storytelling, guided reflection and moments where women recognize themselves in each other's stories. No one is put on the spot, and the energy in the audience shifts because women realize they aren't alone.

Is this a style or fashion talk?

No. I'm the founder of Style to Impact, and clothing is one of the places where inherited stories show up. My talks focus on identity, self-trust and self-advocacy. How we dress is just one of the clues that helps women see the story they're living by.

What happens after the event?

The conversation keeps going. Attendees can download the free Story Rewrite Guide to keep working through their stories, and they're invited to join The Fitting Room for ongoing insights from The Stories We Wear.

Do you speak in person, virtually and outside Atlanta?

Yes. I'm based in Atlanta, Georgia, and I speak at events across the United States, in person or virtually. Every talk can be delivered as a keynote, interactive workshop, panel or fireside chat.

What do you need from us on the day?

For in-person events, a microphone and a screen for slides. For virtual events, a reliable platform such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams. We'll confirm all the details together after booking, so the day runs smoothly.

How do I book you, and what does it cost?

Share your event date, format, audience and speaking budget through the booking form on this page. Fees depend on the format, length and location of your event, and I reply to every inquiry within two business days.
