Connect First
Authenticity leads to trust; trust fosters connection; and connection inspires action. Learn the skills to build authentic connections with your audience, whether you’re communicating to a manager, executive board, or prospective client.
Open and Close With Purpose
You can craft the most compelling opening line, but if you don’t close with purpose, will anyone follow through? Conversely, you might have an inspiring close, but if you didn’t capture attention at the beginning, will anyone hear you? Your opening and closing moments impact how you’re perceived and whether your listeners focus or fade away. In this interactive module, you’ll learn exactly how to hook your listeners, establish credibility, and craft a captivating story that inspires action.
Engage Your Audience
When you feel like you’re part of something, suddenly it matters more. You pay attention. You remember. You take action. This same principle applies in communication. From meetings to sales calls to virtual keynotes, when your listeners truly feel engaged, you’ll earn trust and inspire follow-through. During this interactive module, discover expert strategies to guarantee participation, create conversation, and drive results.
Be Memorable
Your co-workers and customers are bombarded with hundreds of messages on a daily basis. So how can you guarantee that your message stands out? Through a series of interactive exercises, you’ll discover how to build stronger connections, spark curiosity, and hold attention by turning passive listeners into active participants every time you speak.
Own Your Power
Have you ever stayed quiet in a meeting, shied away from asking for a raise, or felt like your ideas weren’t being heard equally? We’ll share actionable strategies to shift your mindset, let go of self doubt, and realize your full potential. Through a series of engaging activities in this session created exclusively for women, you’ll be empowered to speak with strength, lead with confidence, and own your accomplishments in an assertive yet approachable way.
Confidence
How much are fear and nervousness holding you back as a communicator? Studies frequently cite public speaking or presenting as a top fear... but it doesn’t need to be yours. Learn techniques thousands have used to transform nervousness into energy by focusing on your content and audience, rather than yourself. You’ll leave this training a more confident and powerful communicator, all while remaining true to your authentic personality.
Eliminate Weak Language
What’s the definition of “um” or “basically”? These filler words are weak language -- words or phrases that dilute your message. In this interactive session, you’ll learn a foolproof method for increasing awareness of - and eliminating - weak language from your vocabulary. You’ll gain the tools to come across as more poised, concise, and confident to gain the attention and respect of your listeners.
Storytelling
Think about your favorite book or movie. There’s a captivating beginning, a bit of exciting build-up, and a journey that carries you from beginning to end. Stories are how we naturally communicate, learn, connect, and influence. In this session, you’ll discover how to transform any presentation, meeting, or virtual call into a captivating journey that builds trust, increases connection, and keeps your listener engaged from start-to-finish.
Receiving Feedback
Want to achieve next-level growth? Demand feedback. But most people struggle to ask for feedback the right way -- and find themselves with vague and unusable information. In this session, you’ll learn how to solicit specific, actionable feedback from colleagues, direct reports, and superiors to get the feedback you need to accelerate your career.
Asking Better Questions and Active Listening
Being a great communicator doesn’t always mean dominating the conversation. In fact, highly effective communicators spend most of their time seeking to understand by listening and asking questions to probe beneath the surface. In this session, you’ll learn how to read your audience and ask the right questions to drive your conversation, meeting, or presentation forward.
