Own the Room: How to Speak and Present Effectively in Meetings
This gathering is designed for women and nonbinary individuals; thank you for honoring this focus.
In many workplaces, the difference between being in the room and truly being heard comes down to how clearly and intentionally you communicate.
This interactive workshop is designed for women who want to strengthen their voice at work—whether you're running team meetings, leading discussions, or sharing ideas with senior stakeholders.
Together, we’ll explore practical strategies you can apply immediately, including how to:
Communicate ideas with clarity using simple frameworks
Project confidence through body language, voice, and intentional pauses
Speak up strategically and ensure their ideas are heard
Navigate interruptions, disagreement, and idea attribution in meeting
If you’ve ever left a meeting thinking “I should have said something,” this workshop is for you.
