Description

Many leaders, especially women leaders, are delivering strong results – but still find themselves holding back or freezing during key moments and key discussions, second-guessing their contributions and voices, and not getting the recognition they deserve.

In this interactive session, participants will be introduced to the Holding Your Own™ framework, which through real-world examples and guided discussion shares practical techniques leaders can use to navigate complex leadership dynamics with greater confidence and credibility; communicate with clarity; and enhance their visibility and influence in situations and decisions that matter in their organizations.

 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

 

  1. Help participants recognize behaviors that build – or quietly undermine ‒ leadership credibility.
  1. Apply a structured method and language for clear and confident executive communication.
  2. Strengthen executive presence in leadership interactions.
  1. Increase your visibility and influence without seeming arrogant or political in introducing yourself or sharing your accomplishments.
