No matter what role you’re playing, at home, in your community, or within an organization, your most valuable skill is influence – whether it be to lead, engage, connect, sell, or solve. The problem is that we’re only taught to “present”. But the path to influence isn’t in your presentation. It’s in your presence.
In my signature keynote, I'll draw on my acting background and years of coaching senior leaders to teach your audience how to embody powerful presence by cultivating the building blocks of personal power: authenticity, confidence, and purpose.
YOUR AUDIENCE WILL WALK AWAY WITH:
- The ACP Presence Model: a framework to develop the inner principles of authenticity, confidence, and purpose
- An elevated sense of personal power that translates into greater executive presence
- A deeper understanding of how greater self-awareness and emotional intelligence make you a more powerful, engaging leader
- Concrete strategies to develop and practice authenticity, confidence, and purpose every day

- Women leaders that want to embody personal power
Every day in the business world, leaders at all levels must communicate to their teams, clients, and other crucial stakeholders. What makes some leaders confusing and forgettable while others are clear and memorable when they speak?
This highly informative and entertaining talk shows how to use three proven techniques Hollywood uses to keep you binge-watching your favorite shows - story, emotion, and charisma – to communicate with clarity, confidence, and presence. If time permits, she can even bring volunteers on stage to demonstrate real-time transformational coaching.
YOUR AUDIENCE WILL LEAVE WITH STRATEGIES TO:
- Turn your message into a story – discover a storytelling formula used by Hollywood writers that convert messages into narratives that lead to measurable outcomes.
