About the workshop:

You have expertise. You have opinions worth hearing and results worth sharing. So why does speaking up, in a meeting, at an update, on a stage, still feel like the hardest part?

Based on long experience coaching speakers, including for TEDx and inside high-tech companies, this interactive workshop shows you that speaking up is a skill you already use more than you realize, and one you can strengthen.

In this session, you'll explore:

· The most common fears that hold people back from speaking up, and how to move through each one

· The essential skills to get your message right, for the right audience, so you accomplish the right goal

· The three ingredients every convincing message needs, and which one you're probably underusing

· How to turn what you already know into a message people remember and act on

You'll leave with the communication skills that make you more effective everywhere you already speak, so when the moment comes to take the stage, big or small, you're ready.
