Communicating is a complex exercise: we do it everyday and have to make thousands of micro-decisions when we do. This is a short video lesson to introduce you to the type of ideas we cover in Communicating with Power. Here I focus on counter-intuitive reasons you might want to smile (and not because someone is telling you to!).

I've taught thousands of women around the world to step into their authority and communicate powerfully in a way that feels good to them. Now, online and live, come join a cohort of incredible women from today's most interesting companies to learn together. In my workshops, I share strategies, research and stories that illuminate how women can use power authentically to get what they want and deserve. The course features discussions and practical exercises so you learn how to integrate tactics and tools into your own communication style. I believe invisible communication binaries exist in the corporate workplace, and set women up for frustration and sometimes failure from the outset.When we become hyper-vigilant about *how* we say things (and less about *what* we say), we don't show our true selves or our actual capabilities. This is a lose-lose for our organizations, our families, our communities, and, of course, ourselves. With over twenty years of coaching women from high school students through to CEOs and executives at companies like Netflix, Uber, Google, Microsoft and many more, I teach creative, powerful and important ways to show up and operate.

Learn powerful tools to turn up your volume at work.

Exceptional women who are looking for the inside scoop on how to improve their impact at work.&nbsp;

Emerging women leaders who are looking for career development and to rise in their organization.

Brilliant team members who have been told to "develop executive presence" and are frustrated by that annoyingly vague advice. 😉&nbsp;

Who is this course for?

Engage your audience and communicate the most authentic, powerful version of yourself.

Charting a path to your most authentic self is the core of this course. We'll work on specific tactics to help boost your presence, like building clear arguments to convince stakeholders, and learning strategies to persuade and cement your credibility.

Step into authority (even if it feels foreign).

Learn how to stand out from your peers with specific techniques to advocate better for yourself and your team, scope out clear wins and right-size your evidence to be its most compelling.

Become more visible at work
 

My workshops are developed from my own experiences as an operator in big tech and start-ups for over a decade. I use research and stories to bring theory to life, so you get practical, grounded and actionable advice.

I bring a wealth of logic, structured argumentation, refutation and presentation skills honed on some of the most adversarial stages in the world: I've won a world championship and have ranked 9th best speaker in the world, 4th best in Asia, and overall best speaker in Australia.

World-ranked debate expertise

Exceptional women leaders from technical and non-technical backgrounds do this course: we have alumni from non-profits, VCs, and companies like Benchling, Bloomberg, Blue Origin, Coursera, Kaiser Permanente, Kellogg, Medtronic, Procreate, World Surf League, Zapier and many more.
