A dynamic, interactive workshop that transforms self-doubt into bold, purposeful self-leadership — guided by the four-part Hero C.O.D.E.
Every Hero C.O.D.E. session walks students through four shifts — from fear to action, from doubt to direction.
Face the fear and act anyway.
Turn your past into your power.
Set a bold vision for what's next.
Take purposeful action, today.
GOVERNMENT & COMMUNITY LEADER · BILINGUAL
A dynamic attorney, transformational leader, and public speaker with a 20+ year career across government, law, and policy. Appointed by two New York State Governors and twice confirmed by the Senate, she serves on the NYS Workers' Compensation Board. A proud daughter of immigrants — single-mom turned statewide leader — she blends powerful storytelling with practical leadership takeaways.
Clarissa easily connects with audiences through her authenticity, humor and grace. I've seen her move people to both laughter and tears.
