    In-Person Professional Development Workshop

    Step into Your Moxie® Speak Up and Influence


    About This Event

    In Step into Your Moxie® Speak Up and Influence, participants will strengthen their inner and outer voice so that they can better speak up for themselves and the ideas and issues that matter most to their company.

    Through a mix of coaching, training, role play, and small and full group conversation, participants will begin to develop the mindset, skill set, and habits to boost their communication confidence so they can speak with more power and impact and move people to take action whenever they speak.

    By the end of this experience, participants will be able to:

    • Reframe diminishing self-talk so that it supports rather than undermines communication confidence
    • Play nicely with feelings that come up when presenting ideas and navigating uncomfortable situations
    • Minimize vocalized thinking and amplify their speaking presence to increase credibility, likeability, and trust
    • Call people to take action on ideas in low and high stakes speaking situations (i.e., team meetings, project pitches, or presentations)
    Light refreshments will be served.
