Speak Up and Influence
powered by Step Into Your Moxie®
Vocal Empowerment Experience for Individuals and Small Teams
Confident Communications | Executive Presence | Equity-Centered
When you’re in a high-stakes conversation, are you using your inside voice?
Your voice is your source of power and influence. Staying quiet when you want to speak up deprives you of the potential impact you could have, especially in high-stakes conversations such as negotiations, pitches, feedback, teamwork and conflict.
In this interactive workshop, we work on developing an unshakeable inner foundation and the ability to speak with authenticity and conviction in any conversation, even if you’re introverted.
AMPLIFY YOUR VOICE WITH
CONFIDENCE + PRESENCE
Have you ever been here…
Silent.
You’re seated at the table, energized by the dialogue, ready to get your word/idea/solution in, and…[silence]…the moment passes and now you're annoyed at yourself…why didn't you just speak up? Or now, you're just waiting for the conversation to circle back around because this time you’ll use your voice and share.
Unproductive.
Your team/colleagues/collaborators are looking to you for feedback. You know what you have to say, it may not be what they want to hear, but you know it will set you all on the best path forward. You start to speak and you change course, you don’t want to disappoint, or conversely, you lay it bare harshly because you're uncomfortable and you’re trying to fly through it. As a result you see the morale drop just as quickly or the potential outcome diminish.
Unimpactful.
You’ve prepared for that brilliant presentation, you know the stories you’ll tell to create connection and the ideas you’ll pitch. It’s all there: designed and packaged well, notes ready to go, and the tech is on your side (yes!). You open your mouth and out comes a flimsy opener, a nervous laugh, that all-eyes-on-you feeling takes over your body and you recoil instead of nailing it.
Small.
You're an expert at what you do and you find yourself in spaces to share your expertise and thought leadership. However, when you perceive someone in the room with more experience, more expertise, or more influence, you succumb to playing small or deferring because “you know your place.”
This vocal empowerment program consists of interactive exercises and role play activities to practice as you learn.
By the end of an experience, you’ll be able to:
Reframe diminishing self-talk so that it supports rather than undermines communication confidence
Harness a “Yes And” attitude and play nicely with feelings that come up when presenting ideas and navigating uncomfortable situations
Minimize vocalized thinking and amplify your speaking presence to increase credibility, likeability, and trust
Call people to take action on ideas in low and high stakes speaking situations (i.e. team meetings, project pitches, or presentations)
Address common pain points and personal motivators that get in the way of people taking action
Articulate your value and go after visibility opportunities that position you as a thought leader
Programs and workshops are customizable and can be hosted for varying timeframes: 1 day, 2 day, 4 weeks, 8 weeks.
Not speaking up costs…
In 2020, The MIT Sloan School of Management surveyed 6,000 Microsoft employees about how often they spoke up to their managers. Less than 50% consistently did. And 17.5% of employees surveyed said that they never spoke up. A few years before this study, VitalSmarts conducted research and concluded that every time an employee avoids a high-stakes conversation, it costs $7,500.
That’s a lot of money and impact to lose.
