Speak To Influence: Balancing Authority & Connection In Hard Conversations [Virtual]

Learn how to speak with confidence, authority, and warmth in hard conversations. Join Ivna Curi for a powerful session on influential communication and leadership presence.

Tired of being overlooked in meetings or misunderstood during tough conversations?
If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation thinking, “I wish I’d said that differently,” you’re not alone. This session will equip you with practical tools to speak up with confidence, earn respect, and build stronger relationships — even in high-stakes situations.

This is for professionals who want to be heard — and respected.

Whether you’re a team lead, manager, consultant, or emerging leader, this event is for you. If you’re often told you’re “too quiet,” “too intense,” or struggle to get buy-in for your ideas, you’ll gain real strategies to shift the way you show up in conversations. Especially if you’re navigating environments where being assertive can be misunderstood, or where you’ve felt your voice doesn’t carry the weight it should — this session is your roadmap to change that.

You’ll feel seen, supported, and empowered to find your authentic communication style that blends both authority and warmth — without having to choose one or the other.

Speak With Confidence and Command Respect

By learning to balance connection and credibility, you’ll not only elevate your communication but also unlock new opportunities in your career. This isn’t about being louder — it’s about being heard, respected, and remembered.
