Cohort 4 - Spring 2023

In my global programs, I've taught thousands of women to step into their authority, and to communicate powerfully in a way which feels good to them. Now online and live, come join a cohort of incredible women from today's most interesting companies to learn together.

Learn powerful tools to turn up your volume at work.

In this session we're going to map out our individual preferences for communicating at work, and understand where our sweet spots (and not-so-sweet spots) might arise. We'll explore some behaviors that we might build into our comms, and others we might want to leave behind, creating a plan to be ready for the next time we're put on the spot at work

📢   What turns your volume up (and what turns it down?)

We're going to cover off the more tactical aspects of persuading your stakeholders to help you get what you want (and keeping everyone on side in the process). We'll cover some behaviors that tend to undermine authority and explore some examples of building your power, such as understanding your win and painting a compelling vision for the team

🔥 Strategies for being persuasive: Stepping into authority

We'll study applying straightforward argumentation logic to have productive conversations with those around you. Conflict communications aren't firing squads (although they can feel like it!) and we'll understand some of the levers of control to navigate them, like holding your ground and taking your time

💬  Holding your conviction: Communicating in adversarial situations

Public speaking is always ranked in the top 3 fears of all time, but what if we approached it from a different direction? Here, we'll use strategies I used in world championship debate to see the importance of calm comfort, and some ways to present yourself in a way that feels authentic, powerful, and most of all, like the best version of you

💅  Communicating with comfort: How calm reinforces power and authority
