For Tech Leaders: Build the 2-Minute Story That Gets You the Promotion & Executive Buy-In.
If you ramble in meetings, interviews, or presentations, people stop listening before you land your point.
This workshop fixes that.
You’ll learn how to communicate your value clearly and concisely, so executive audiences actually understand your impact in high-stakes moments.
In this live, in-person session, you’ll build and practice one 2-minute Impact Story you can use immediately, whether you’re speaking to a board, interviewing for a senior role, or influencing a leadership team.
