Power Talks
Empowering Confidence. Elevating Potential. Inspiring Women.

What is Power Talks?
Power Talks is a global initiative by Kérastase that breaks barriers by addressing the confidence gap among young women.
In Malaysia, this powerful movement came to life through a vibrant partnership with the National Association of Women Entrepreneurs of Malaysia (NAWEM) — bringing mentorship, motivation, and meaningful transformation to emerging women leaders.
Together, Kérastase and NAWEM curated a dynamic program aimed at unlocking potential, building inner strength, and helping young women thrive — not just in business, but in life.

Powering Up with Mentorship
At the heart of the program lies mentorship — real conversations, honest sharing, and a community that listens and lifts.
Flash Mentoring Highlights
Held in December 2024, the Flash Mentoring Sessions were short, impactful two-hour conversations where mentees connected with inspiring mentors. These sessions:

Fostered authentic sharing on topics like confidence, leadership, and personal development.

Addressed key barriers such as the Perfection Trap, Reluctance to Claim Achievements, and the Desire to Please.

Introduced mentees to tools like the Circle of Influence and Growth Mindset, sparking “aha” moments and actionable change.
Mentors—carefully chosen for their experience and empathy—encouraged open conversations. Mentees left the sessions with fresh perspectives, practical strategies, and a deeper belief in their own worth.

“I got so much from just two hours!”


“The mentors were spot on about my issues. I feel rejuvenated.”
The R.I.S.E UP Experience
For 17 selected mentees, the journey continued with an extended mentoring track called R.I.S.E UP. This personalized journey included in-depth workshops, psychometric assessments, resilience training, and one-on-one coaching sessions to truly ignite personal transformation.
R.I.S.E UP is built around:
R: Respect for Self and Others
I: Individuality
S: Sensibilities
E: Effectiveness
UP: Unique Persona
Bigger Than Business
Power Talks Malaysia is more than just a mentoring program — it’s a movement. It’s a reflection of Kérastase’s commitment to empowering women worldwide, and NAWEM’s mission to build a future where women lead with confidence, creativity, and courage.
“Women hold up half the sky. All they need is the confidence to project their value and contributions.”
Celebrating a Year of Impact
In March 2025, Power Talks Malaysia celebrated its first-year milestone — a vibrant graduation ceremony hosted at the L’Oréal Academy Malaysia with over 100 guests. The event reflected the passion, growth, and grit of 62 women who participated as mentees, entrepreneurs, and coaches.
"From being directionless to knowing what I want – that’s the transformative power of Power Talks."
