Executive Presence at the Highest Level (Boston)
Presented by Women In GTM: Speaker Series by Relay - 100% of proceeds donated to Women’s Lunch Place.
Ready to step into the rooms where the biggest decisions are made?
Whether you’re growing into leadership, influencing across teams, or preparing for director- and executive-level conversations, this night is for you.
After building momentum with Women in GTM events in Toronto, Relay is bringing the community to Boston for a special kickoff event focused on Executive Presence at the Highest Level.
This evening will bring together GTM professionals across Sales, Marketing, Enablement, RevOps, and other go-to-market functions to learn, connect, and share honest conversations about what it takes to lead with confidence and clarity.
Our Boston kickoff event, “We don’t talk about ‘Executive Presence at the Highest Level’ enough,” explores how to show up in the rooms where strategic decisions are made, communicate ideas that move the business forward, and build the credibility needed to shape an organization’s direction.
Discussion points:
The Language of Leadership: How to communicate, simplify, and reframe ideas so they land at the executive level
Owning the Room: Navigating high-stakes moments and showing up with confidence in executive conversations
From Data to Decisions: Translating GTM metrics, market insights, and business context into clear, compelling narratives that drive action
Whether you’re preparing for your first director-level opportunity, already leading a team, or looking to sharpen how you show up in strategic conversations, you’ll walk away with tangible takeaways and a supportive network of peers and mentors.
