SPEAKING & WORKSHOPS
I deliver presentations and workshops to organizations about executive presence, the power of style, and impactful communication.
These qualities, once called “soft skills” are now referred to as power skills.
Via Zoom or in person, I can bring one of my signature talks to your upcoming event or craft a presentation especially for you and your audience.
Available for keynotes, breakouts, and workshops, I have spoken and created workshops for organizations including Vodafone, Swarovski, AAA, Lifespan, IGT, the Bryant University Women’s Summit, CBS Providence’s The Rhode Show and NBC’s Studio 10.
From body language to enclothed cognition, macroexpressions to creating a “uniform”, and via Zoom or in real life, how you communicate with your body and image impacts your own behavior and influences how people perceive you.
I geek out on the science of style and love sharing with my audiences how we can use it as a powerful tool in both our personal and professional lives!
SAMPLE SPEAKING TOPICS
Can We Zoom?
Executive Presence, Professional Image, and Impactful Communication in a Virtual World
Your ability to convey executive presence and communicate effectively is more important than ever. From “hybrid outfits” to macroexpressions, learn the dos and don’ts of effective virtual communication while conveying confidence and building trust with colleagues and clients. We cover: Setting the Stage: Ensuring a Great First Impression, The Power Skills: Body Language and Facial Expressions, Dressing the Part: The Science of What You Wear, and Effective Virtual Communication: Best Practices on Video.
Participants will be able to: make a powerful first impression online, build trust and empathy virtually, project a professional “Zoom” image, and communicate with clarity and impact on video calls. This session is 45-60 minutes plus Q&A and presented via (what else?!?) Zoom.
The Science of Style: Why What You Wear Matters
Social scientists have proven that what we wear has a very real impact on our behavior and how we feel about ourselves. That, in turn, influences our job prospects, our confidence, even our ability to focus and collaborate. Explore the latest research on topics like first impressions, “enclothed cognition”, “thin slicing”, decision fatigue (the average person makes 35,000 decisions a day!) and why people determine if you are trustworthy in 1/10th of a second.
