Step into Your Moxie®
"Speak Up and Influence" Training
Are you looking for training and development which will help participants to create an empowering inner voice, get comfortable with uncomfortable physiological sensations that come up when speaking/speaking up, practice sculpting and delivering high-impact messaging, develop authentic presence, and use communication that moves people to take action?
As a certified Step into Your Moxie® facilitator, I am pleased to offer the experiential and highly acclaimed "Speak Up and Influence" program.
In the full* program, participants will strengthen their inner and outer voice so that they can speak up for themselves and the ideas and issues that matter most to your company. Through a mix of coaching, training, role play, and small and full group conversation, participants will develop the mindset, skill set, and habits to boost their communication confidence so they can speak with power and impact and move people to take action whenever they speak.
By the end of this experience, participants will be able to:
- Reframe diminishing self-talk so that it supports rather than undermines communication confidence
- Harness a “Yes And” attitude and play nicely with feelings that come up when presenting ideas and navigating uncomfortable situations
- Minimize vocalized thinking and amplify speaking presence to increase credibility, likeability, and trust
- Call people to take action on ideas in low and high stakes speaking situations (i.e., team meetings, project pitches, or presentations)
- Address common pain points and personal motivators that get in the way of people taking action
- Tell stories that create connection, discovery, and buy-in for those listening
- Articulate their value and go after visibility opportunities that position them/your company as thought leaders
- Identify and begin to address potential team/company barriers to communication success
- Set and rearticulate boundaries to strengthen individual and team wellbeing
- Possess the words to take responsibility for mistakes and repair harm when it’s caused
- Live and lead into a legacy that aligns with their values
* Note: The full program can be offered as a 2-day, 4-half day, or 8-week format. Shorter formats are available, although some objectives will be omitted to fit the timeframe.
"Speak Up Even When (Especially When) It Feels Uncomfortable" (half day program)
For most people, navigating conversations where there is the possibility of disagreement or conflict is uncomfortable. And yet, shifting conversations from difficult to daring is one of the most important skills an employee/entrepreneur can possess. Employees/entrepreneurs who make a habit of facilitating daring conversations create and sustain better relationships, engender more trust, are better able to manage stress, and prevent resentment and burnout. In this half-day Step into Your Moxie® workshop, participants will develop the self-awareness and tools to avoid staying silent, ruminating, or winging high-stakes conversations. By the end of this experience, participants will be able to:
- Hold space for uncomfortable thoughts, feelings, and sensations that arise during daring conversations
- Create psychological safety for daring conversations to be successful
- Show up to daring conversations ready to speak up and listen
- Use role play as a tool to prepare for future daring conversations
"The Art of Persuasive Communication" (half day program)
Through a mix of experiential activities, practical training, role play, and self-reflection, in this half-day Step into Your Moxie® workshop, participants cultivate the confidence, strategy, and communication skills to be dynamic persuasive communicators. They develop the ability to manage fear and self-defeating thoughts connected to persuasive communication, and they learn how to address impromptu challenges by staying flexible, listener-centered, and on message. By the end of this experience, participants will be able to:
- Use words, phrases, and gestures that heighten persuasiveness
- Engage in self-talk that supports moving people to take action
- Discover an archetype to make heart-centered, high-impact communication a habit
- Overcome people’s resistance to taking action by speaking to their pain points and personal motivators

By the end of this experience, participants will be able to:
- Identify and unapologetically communicate their expertise
- Explore potential opportunities for thought leadership
