Learn to stay poised, access your highest creativity, and inspire meaningful collaboration: no matter how nerve-wracking the situation is! Today’s stressed-out, multi-tasking, technically evolving workplace can be challenging. It can be particularly tricky when presenting complex data, solving thorny problems, or addressing faulty assumptions. Fortunately, we can make easy changes to improve our mental states and communication effectiveness. In this highly actionable presentation, we will learn how to re-direct unsettled feelings into a flow-state that inspires innovation and improves genuine communication. We will explore the science of body language, voice tone, and micro expressions and how they can subconsciously convey meaning and either inspire or repel connection and respect. Attendees will learn to use the "Charisma Compass" tool to adjust their impact on others and a "brain-body-boost" approach to show up as their best self every time without losing their authenticity.

Participants will get fresh tools for getting more done and attracting more opportunities without feeling fake or stressed. We will explore how to heal one of the least understood and most overlooked causes of low productivity and high anxiety at work: Imposter Experience. Participants will learn about the unexpected ways this phenomenon can manifest in the workplace and derail our impact. We will discuss the research behind this phenomenon, and more importantly, walkthrough three specific techniques for banishing it. Audiences will leave with practical things they can do throughout their day to increase innovation, decrease procrastination and enjoy more authentic confidence.

Love it or hate it, presenting, both live and virtually, is a requirement for career success. The good news is that anyone can learn to present effectively. You don't need to be a born extrovert, and you don't have to force yourself to suffer through countless bad presentations to go from terrified to tolerable. This workshop will explore the neuroscience behind crafting high impact messages, diminishing stage fright, increasing charisma, and delivering memorable experiences. All without compromising professionalism or authenticity! Even introverts and people who hate the spotlight can turn presenting and public speaking into a career success platform. Audiences will leave inspired and ready to start using what they learn right away, whether they are running a meeting, pitching an investor, building a social media following, or promoting a product.
