Your executive presence speaks volumes before you even say a word.

When leaders carry that presence with congruence — between what they say and how they show up — they close their own Believability Gap, earning respect, trust, and alignment.

Participants Will:
  • Learn the 5 Key Components of Executive Presence
  • Create a personal development plan to improve their executive presence
  • Apply executive presence to every interaction they have at work to effectively unite and uplift others

WORKSHOP 2

The Power of Storytelling

Storytelling is a powerful tool and an underdeveloped skill.

When leaders understand how to effectively connect with others through stories, they build trust, align people around a shared vision, and inspire people into action.

Participants Will:
  • Master a proven storytelling framework
  • Pinpoint career-defining stories
  • Craft a strategy to leverage stories for maximum impact

WORKSHOP 3

Saying No With Confidence

Saying “no” is about protecting what you value. It’s using your voice to say no: to an unfair request, an outdated practice, or an unjust situation. “No” is the key word of change.

Based on the ground-breaking work by negotiation and mediation expert William Ury, author of The Power of a Positive No, participants will learn a finely-tuned 3-step process to help them prioritize with confidence, conserving energy for their most critical decisions so they stay focused on impact.

Participants Will:
  • Learn a three-step process to confidently say “no” while maintaining respect and rapport
  • Discover how to use their voice to protect what matters most
  • Practice handling tough scenarios and leave with ready-to-use responses that build confidence in high-stakes situations

“Allison’s keynote was amazing! I heard nothing but positive feedback after our Summit.The most powerful part was that she got everyone up and interacting. I appreciated how she took the time to really understand our audience. We’ve never had a speaker engage that much with our group beforehand. As a result, she had a deeper connection with the audience.”
