COAChing Women in the Art of Strategic Performance


This workshop is designed to provide powerful women with skills to succeed in accomplishing their goals in negotiations and meetings.  Participants will be introduced to performance techniques that people in the theater and in leadership training understand about how to be effective.  They will learn how to articulate a clear purpose, land their message, be heard, enhance personal presence, depersonalize attacks, and  manage hot moments.  Participants are asked to bring examples of past challenging negotiations or meetings. These moments are examined in the workshop, through the use of role plays.  Discussion, coaching, and the replay of scenarios creates a highly interactive, personal and powerful learning of the wide range of tactics available for success.  Participants will leave with a superior sense of how to think strategically about their professional challenges and leadership opportunities.

|Facilitators: Lee Warren and Nancy Houfek

Duration: 1/2 or full day. This is also offered in a full day workshop format which allows for additional time for discussion, role-playing and beginning concepts on leading change.
