​January Community Call: Confident Conversations

​Speaking with Power & Presence

​Wednesday, January 7 | 12:00–1:00 PM
Virtual (Zoom) | Members-Only Event
Free with Membership | Registration Required

​Theme: Finding Your Voice in 2026

​Start the new year by stepping fully into your voice.

​Our first Community Call of 2026 is all about communication, confidence, and executive presence—skills every woman in leadership needs to be seen, heard, and respected in the rooms that matter.

​Whether you’re leading a meeting, pitching a client, or introducing yourself at a networking event, how you communicate shapes how others perceive your authority. This session will give you tools to strengthen your delivery, calm your nerves, and speak with clarity and conviction.

​You’ll learn:

• ​The building blocks of confident communication

• ​How to structure introductions that make people remember you

• ​Subtle cues (tone, pacing, posture) that project authority

• ​What executive presence really means—and how to cultivate it

​Interactive Breakout Exercise:

​Practice your 30-second “power statement” or introduction and get real-time feedback from fellow members.
