RED SHOE MOVEMENT EVENTS

Leadership Events Where Trust, Talent & Collaboration Become Advantage

Red Shoe Movement designs high-impact leadership experiences for organizations that want more than a keynote. We create events that bring people together, spark courageous conversations, and turn leadership ideas into shared action.

Custom formats for corporate teams, professional networks, regional initiatives, and global organizations.

WHAT WE DO

Not Just an Event. A Leadership Experience.

At Red Shoe Movement, an event is not simply a room, a stage, and a speaker. It is a designed experience that helps people connect across roles, levels, and backgrounds. Our work combines Mariela Dabbah’s voice as a speaker and insights catalyst with the Red Shoe Movement methodology, visual identity, storytelling, audience participation, and practical tools attendees can bring back to their teams.

Whether the goal is to energize emerging talent, strengthen peer leadership, build trust across teams, or create a memorable moment for clients and partners, we help shape the right experience around your audience, your priorities, and your budget.

Events Built Around What Organizations Need Now

Trust

Create the conditions for people to speak openly, listen actively, and build stronger relationships across levels and functions.

Talent

Support emerging talent and high-potential leaders with experiences that increase confidence, visibility, and self-leadership.

Collaboration

Move beyond one-way presentations and activate the collective intelligence already present in the room.

THE RSM DIFFERENCE

More Than a Speaker. A Full Leadership Experience.

When Mariela Dabbah joins your event, she brings more than a powerful message from the stage. She brings a methodology, a point of view, and the ability to create a room where people feel invited to participate, reflect, and connect.

Red Shoe Movement events can include audience conversations, Mutual Mentoring dynamics, Stories of Courage, branded photo moments, networking, and action planning. The result is not just a talk people attend. It is an experience they remember.

Depending on your goals, a RSM event may include:

A keynote conversation or moderated interview
Mutual Mentoring Circles
Executive Circles with senior leaders
Stories of Courage: a short-format storytelling
Networking breakfasts, lunches, or receptions
Interactive skill-building sessions
Branded visual moments and photo opportunities
Practical action planning for participants

CUSTOM FORMATS

What We Can Create With You

Every organization is different. We can design a focused session, a full-day leadership conference, or a custom experience that blends speaking, facilitation, networking, storytelling, and practical tools.

01

Leadership Conferences

Full or half-day experiences designed around your organization’s priorities, with keynote conversations, executive panels, facilitated circles, storytelling moments, networking, and action planning.

02

Executive Circles

Curated conversations with senior leaders, clients, partners, or emerging talent. These sessions create trust, surface insights, and make leadership feel more accessible.

03

Mutual Mentoring Circles

Interactive table conversations based on the Red Shoe Movement methodology. Participants practice the roles of Expert and Explorer, share perspective, and leave with ideas they can use immediately.

04

Stories of Courage

Short, powerful stories that bring vulnerability, resilience, and humanity into the room told in front of the powerful Wings Of Courage background. These moments help people connect beyond title, role, or hierarchy.

05

Networking Breakfasts & Lunches

Intentional gatherings designed to make networking more human, useful, and energizing. Ideal for corporate teams, professional associations, client communities, and regional initiatives.

06

Internal Talent Events

Custom experiences for organizations that want to energize their people, strengthen leadership behaviors, foster trust, and create a stronger sense of shared purpose and loyalty.

INTERACTIVE BY DESIGN

A Format That Breaks the Mold

Red Shoe Movement challenges the traditional conference format. Instead of keeping all the expertise on stage, we design experiences where leaders and participants learn from one another.

In our sessions, the people featured on stage may ask as many questions to the audience as they receive. This back-and-forth quickly levels the playing field and makes participants feel valued and heard.

This is the philosophy behind Mutual Mentoring: everyone has something to teach and something to learn.

“Leadership grows faster when people are invited to contribute, not just consume.”

TOPICS & THEMES

Leadership Themes We Can Build Around

Your event can be designed around the business and culture priorities that matter most to your organization. These are examples of themes we can adapt for your audience.

GLOBAL IMPACT

Creating Courageous Leaders and Connected Cultures Around the World

From intimate leadership breakfasts to large conferences and regional activations, our events are adapted to the audience, the market, and the moment.

Red Shoe Movement has created leadership experiences for corporate teams, professional networks, associations, and communities across countries and cultures. From Argentina to New York, from Denmark to Mexico, from the UK to South Africa, the Middle East, Asia and beyond, we have created and successfully activated local and global events both in – person and virtually since 2012.

Leadership experiences designed for different cultures, markets, and organizational goals.
