In the realm of influential speakers and impactful initiatives, the Iconic Speakers Network stands out as a beacon of empowerment and inspiration. This vibrant platform provides a stage for individuals from diverse backgrounds and industries to share their stories and expertise with a global audience.

Complementing this platform is the visionary mission of Iconic LeadHers, a movement dedicated to empowering female leaders and entrepreneurs, with a tagline that embodies its spirit—” Ignite. Inspire. Impact.”—Iconic LeadHers celebrate the resilience, innovation, and impact of women who are breaking barriers and driving change.

As we delve into the world of leadership, resilience, and empowerment, we explore the transformative journey of the Iconic Speakers Network and the trailblazing mission of Iconic LeadHers.

In an era where the call for equality resonates louder than ever, it’s pivotal to spotlight those who pave the way for change, challenge norms, and inspire a generation. This year, we’ve witnessed an unprecedented surge of women who’ve not only excelled in their respective fields but have also uplifted communities, advocating for inclusivity, sustainability, and justice. They are the Iconic LeadHers of 2024 – a testament to resilience, intelligence, and empathy.

Among these remarkable individuals is Star Word, a woman of impact and leadership. 

Star M. Holmes-Word stands as a beacon of empowerment and resilience in the multifaceted roles she embodies as a multi-award-winning author, master confidence coach, anthology manager, and jewelry artist. With over a decade of dedication to helping women unearth their most confident selves, Star’s work transcends mere teaching; it’s about fostering profound, transformative growth through her unique confidence-building programs.

Her approach to confidence coaching is deeply informed by her background in domestic violence and sexual assault advocacy, combined with her skills as an auditor. Star’s comprehensive training through the Coalition for Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault in Des Moines, Iowa, has equipped her with a robust toolkit for supporting those on their journey to self-discovery and empowerment.

In 2018, Star ventured into the literary world, compiling her first book, an anthology titled “We Are Women of Substance Vol 1.” This inaugural project not only marked the beginning of a significant series but also showcased her commitment to sharing stories of strength, survival, and the power of unity in overcoming adversity.

Star’s philosophy is rooted in the belief that healing from trauma, triggers, and mal-behaviors is not only possible but imperative for personal growth. She advocates for knowledge and empowerment as crucial pathways to building confidence and reclaiming one’s sense of self.

Beyond her coaching and advocacy work, Star embraces the beauty of art and creative design as vital tools for healing. Her journey as a jewelry artist reflects her conviction that engaging in healthy, creative outlets is essential for combatting negative or traumatic life experiences. Through her art, Star offers a tangible manifestation of her core belief that beauty can emerge from pain and creativity can be a powerful conduit for healing.

Star’s guiding principle, “You are not responsible for the trauma or grief you endured. You are responsible for choosing to heal,” encapsulates her message of empowerment and responsibility. It’s a testament to her life’s work, encouraging individuals to not only acknowledge their past but to actively pursue a journey of healing and self-empowerment. Star M. Holmes-Word’s contributions as a coach, author, and artist continue to inspire and support countless individuals on their paths to becoming their most confident, healed selves.
