Takeaways:

  • Use the 26-Second Rule to sharpen oral clarity.
  • Apply a proven formula for concise, effective emails.
  • Shift to a brevity-first mindset in conversations.

Gain ready-to-use phrases and strategies to keep conversations productive, make space for quieter voices, and maintain psychological safety for everyone in the room.

Core Skill: Including others through tactful, timely interjections.

Takeaways:

  • Recognize when and how to pass the vocal baton in conversations, meetings, presentations, and networking
  • Advocate for others creating space for quieter voices.
  • Facilitate meetings to keep discussions focused, inclusive, and on track.
  • Interrupt with finesse while maintaining rapport and connection.
  • Develop Voice Equity awareness to shift from monologue to dialogue

This lively, interactive session blends humor, brain science, and even FBI-inspired negotiation tactics to help you connect deeply, uncover meaning, and lead with empathy.
