Course overview
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.
01
Exceptional women who are looking for the inside scoop on how to improve their impact at work.
02
Emerging women leaders who are looking for career development and to rise in their organization.
03
Brilliant team members who have been told to "develop executive presence" and are frustrated by that annoyingly vague advice. 😉

Founder, Hedgehog + Fox
I'm Kate Mason, founder of communications strategy firm Hedgehog + Fox, where I focus on helping individuals and companies create strong, compelling positions from which to get what they want.
I spent my early career years at Google, YouTube, Khan Academy and Medium and saw firsthand the challenges women can have at work. I also spent many years winning national and world rankings in debate, a professionally adversarial and very male environment. Now I help thousands of women elevate the way they operate and communicate, boosting their signal at work. In order to find an authoritative voice to call one's own, I guide people through lessons to help shape our presence, logic, and persuasion to succeed.
With over twenty years experience in coaching women, my work maps creative and important ways of presenting yourself and your work, whether it's your first job, you're trying for that next promotion, or you're already in the C-suite.
I live for creating warm, engaged spaces where women leaders can connect, grow and learn together, and supercharge their value and impact at work.
01
📢 What turns your volume up (and what turns it down?)
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
02
🔥 Strategies for being persuasive: Stepping into authority
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
03
💬 Holding your conviction: Communicating in adversarial situations
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
04
💅 Communicating with comfort: How calm reinforces power and authority
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

Learn what you were never taught
So-called soft skills are actually really hard. Take time to get up to speed on strategies and tactics you use every day so you fully understand their foundations.
Learning together > alone
Explore perspectives and experiences different to your own. And meet some of the best women around at the same time.
Practice in real-time
Workshops are interactive and vibrant: and we also take time to apply skills back at work and re-group to measure how you improve and grow during the course itself.
