Speech Topics


Turn Up Your Executive Presence

Most aspiring leaders know they need executive presence. Yet, presence can be mystifying and hard to define. This “it” quality is shaped not only by how you’re broadly regarded - but how you’re experienced and perceived on a daily basis. Zeroing in on three executive presence “filters,” participants practice being the “confident leader” even when dealing with imperfect conditions and uncertainties. Deviating sharply from the message that women are somehow deficient, this session gives women positive, smart, and strong moves to drive their plans forward.

Reimagine Your Brand, Then Advocate It into Reality

Transforming yourself from a trusted employee into a leader can be a challenge as a woman. It takes an assessment of your brand, the courage to finetune it, and the power and self-advocacy to amplify it. Learn how to identify what you’re most known for today and what key elements are missing from your brand to take the next step. See how to carve out a unique and valuable leadership niche, influence upward, and self-advocate to make that brand a reality.

Negotiate Like a Boss

Gone are the days when self advocating was only for a performance review, job interview or the big pitch. Women negotiate all day every day—for better project deadlines, to resolve a standstill on a team—not to mention in “#MeToo moments” that are highly personal or high-stakes. How can you make the most of these conversations—regardless of whether it’s with a direct report, boss, peer or customer? Leveraging tips from her award-winning book, Pushback, Selena Rezvani teaches you how to flex your style based on the person with whom you are speaking, back your ideas, and manage pushback with authority and power.
