This was my first time to present to a great membership forum here in Washington, DC — the Fabulous Women Biz Owners founded by Sarah Massey.
This was such a rejuvenating night — great, tenacious folks.
Here’s 13 minutes from my talk that includes:
a 4-prong approach to preparing persuasive presentations plus using vocal flexibility and understanding the impact of silence.
I co-hosted the workshop with the fantastic Jessica Solomon, founder of Spark Creativity. She led a segment on creating an authentic elevator pitch (or what she calls ‘cocktail line’) with some really reflective, thought provoking recommendations.
Here’s her 23 minute clip:


Thank you so much for posting these videos. I had to work late and was unable to make the meeting so I was thrilled to be able to access the videos here. Thanks!
@Dani – you are so welcome and thanks for stopping by. Hope work went well that night (and hope to see you at the next meetup).
