PowerTalk Atlanta: Confidence & Communication Training for Professionals

If your voice still shakes when the stakes are high, PowerTalk is for you.

You’ve done everything right, earned the degree(s), updated your résumé, taken the training but when it’s time to speak, you hesitate. Your mind races. You over-explain. You feel like you're shrinking instead of leading.

PowerTalk is the 1-day Communication and Confidence Training designed to help you finally own your voice, articulate your value, and speak with confidence whether you're in a boardroom, job interview, team meeting, or on camera.

Common Pain Points This Training Will Address:

• You freeze up when you're put on the spot, even when you know the answer
• You’ve been told to “speak up more,” but you don’t know how without sounding awkward
• You ramble when you’re nervous and lose your audience mid-sentence
• You know your work is strong but you’re being passed over for opportunities
• You dread introducing yourself or sharing updates in meetings
• You feel confident in your skills but your voice doesn’t always match your value

What You Will Learn:

• How to speak with clarity and presence, not perfection
• How to introduce yourself in a way that actually gets remembered
• How to negotiate your salary or pitch your ideas without shrinking
• How to use voice, body language, and emotional intelligence to lead
• How to handle difficult conversations with calm and confidence
• How to tell your story powerfully in interviews, pitches, or on camera
