Signature Keynotes & Workshops

“Speakeasy”

Recommended as Workshop | 90-120 Minutes

This hands-on workshop offers expert insights and tangible strategies for planning, writing, and delivering presentations with confidence and clarity.  Attendees will learn how to connect with their audience and effectively communicate their ideas.  Hands-on activities provide the chance to try out the skills they are learning in real time and to reflect on how they can implement them in their regular communication and upcoming speaking opportunities.

“Authentically Speaking”

30-60-Minute Keynote or 90-120 Minute Workshop

The best speakers connect with their audience because they are their whole authentic selves when they speak.  This talk will help attendees find their unique voices and harness their personal strengths to hone their speaking presence.  We will also celebrate the value of welcoming diverse voices to the table and explore how we can all benefit from this focus on authenticity.  When offered as a workshop, this session includes hands-on activities to try out the lessons attendees are learning.

“Empowered, Steady, and Ready”

30-60-Minute Keynote or 90-120 Minute Workshop

Speaking up, whether on a stage or in a meeting, can be a nerve-wracking experience.  This keynote or workshop teaches attendees how to cope with and even harness those nerves to bring clarity, confidence, and energy to their speech.  We will explore valuable mindset shifts and tangible strategies that can make any speaker feel more empowered to share their ideas and speak about what matters to them.

We can also create a custom keynote or workshop to meet the needs and interests of your organization.  We love writing and collaborating, so please don’t be shy!  Your project might turn into our next signature talk!
