The Speaker Lab | Workshop (CEO Edition)
What is a characteristic that impacts how you show up on stage and in business?
Executive presence.
This is the most highly valued yet underdiscussed skill that determines who gets promotions, clients, and the best speaking opportunities.
For founders, it impacts your chances of raising capital, attracting and retaining talent to grow your company, and effectively communicating strategy and vision.
Speaker Lab: CEO Edition is a combination of training and hands-on practice designed to help you build real confidence and executive presence when speaking.
We’ll start with an empowering overview from Aaron Thweatt, an Executive Coach for women in corporate and start ups alike to discuss how executive presence can enhance your success.
Then, you’ll step into a live workshop experience, where you’ll practice and integrate your learnings.
During the workshop you’ll:
• Learn the 6 pillars of executive presence
• See how the pillars translate to being an effective founder and start up leader
✨ No prep needed — just come as you are.
This space is designed for you to practice, not perform.
Perfect for:
– Founders who want to feel more confident pitching and leading
– Creators building on-camera
– Women who overthink or freeze when put on the spot
– Anyone ready to trust their voice in the moment
What is executive presence?
It's ultimately a combination of skill sets that culminates in one key thing: the ability to imbue trust with management, investors, employees, and stakeholders in your ecosystem.
Whether you are in a corporate career or a founder, embodying executive presence is paramount to achieving maximum success
