Speaking Up,
Moving Forward:
Executive Presence for Women

A program to increase your
Confidence
Impact
Momentum
Across the globe, smart, talented, hard-working women struggle with questions about career growth and quality of work life.
What do I do when I'm interrupted, talked over or not given a chance to speak?
How can I get recognized for what I contribute?
How do I know when and how to speak up when something bothers me?
How can I convey confidence, presence and power when I communicate?
A few small adjustments allow you to feel your best, convey your best and get the best results.
Human beings are wired to make snap judgments about each other in a fraction of a second. This means that before you reach out to shake someone’s hand, say your first word, or take your seat at the table, up to 10 trillion chemical reactions have been processed in your colleagues' subconscious brains, creating a filter through which they see you.
This program will empower you to be authentic, powerful, relaxed, confident--to command a room, make a strong impression, be heard and move forward in your career.
For years many women believed that things will get easier at work when more women join the ranks. While this is partially true, most executives feel that things have not improved in the last 10 years.
The truth is, for change to happen, women need to take things into our own hands. This program explores communication techniques and paradigms to help you manage the way you are perceived, gain more credibility, respect and command, and gain the recognition and credit you deserve. The surprising part? This is easier than women believe. In fact, it's not about gearing up for an unwanted battle or raising anxiety. In fact, it's often a relief.
Fortunately, there are proven techniques to help you sort through your options and make the choices which are best for you.
