Speak Like the Leader You Are ~ Build Confidence, Influence, & Impact
For executive women, leaders, and sales teams who present online, in person, or on stage. Learn why speaking skills win trust.
Who Should Attend
This free live online master class is for executive women, leaders, and sales professionals who know they have more to offer than the room is hearing. Perhaps you hold back in meetings, rehearse what you want to say and then let the moment pass, or watch someone else get credit for an idea you shared first. Perhaps you present often, online or in person, yet sense your message is not landing the way you intend. If any of this feels familiar, these 90 minutes are for you.
Why This Matters Now
Confidence, influence, and impact are three of the biggest challenges women face in their careers today, and the research shows it.
Confidence. In the 2025 Women in the Workplace report by McKinsey and LeanIn.Org, fewer women than men said they want a promotion (80% compared to 86%), the first gap of its kind in the study’s history. Yet when women receive the same support as men, that gap disappears. A lack of confidence is rarely about ability. It shows up as second-guessing, holding back, and stepping away from opportunities you have already earned.
Influence. Research cited by Sheryl Sandberg and Adam Grant found that male executives who speak up more are seen as 10% more competent, while female executives who do the same are seen as 14% less competent. That is why influence is not about talking more. It is about how you speak: your voice, your words, your facial expressions, and your body language. When those are out of alignment, you can feel unheard, overlooked, and frustrated.
Impact. Senior executives surveyed by the Center for Talent Innovation said communication makes up 28% of executive presence, and 60% said great speaking skills add to a woman’s presence as a leader. Impact is what people remember after you leave the room. Without it, promotions, sales, and recognition go to someone else.
What You Will Gain
In this warm, interactive session, Janet will help you see what may be blocking you, why it matters, and what the most influential leaders understand about how they are perceived. You will discover how your voice, presence, and story shape the way others see you, and you will leave with clarity about where to begin. This is not a lecture. Come ready to share in the chat, laugh a little, and see yourself as the leader you already are.
Janet will also share how her Speak Up 6-Week Online Intensive, a small and supportive group program you can join at any point, helps women build these skills step by step.
