Presence before Performance

​Presence before performance. A YPN members-only leadership experience.

​The Art of Public Speaking Through Breathing, Reflection, and Being

​Your greatest leadership tool isn't your voice. It's your presence.

​Most professional development teaches you how to perform: how to network, pitch, and present. Almost none of it teaches you how to arrive.

​On Sunday, August 9th, YPN welcomes Toyia Taylor, Founder of Speak With Purpose, for a 90 minute members only session in leadership presence. Toyia has spent a decade coaching executives, educators, and rising leaders to communicate with authenticity over polish.

​Expect guided breathing and mindfulness practice, a personal Leadership Presence Statement you leave with, and live coaching in a closed, supportive room. This is not a public speaking workshop. It is a recalibration of how you show up: in the boardroom, the pitch, and the next room you walk into.

​Dress code: Comfortable clothing suited for movement. Athletic or exercise wear recommended.

​What to bring: Bring your own Yoga mats and pillows are required, there may be moments we sit on the floor. A journal and something to write with. Comfortable clothing.

​Members only. Space is limited.
