Public Speaking - Speak To Lead - Session 1

October 7, 2026 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM (EDT)

Description

Speak to Lead: A Two-Part Public Speaking Workshop

Please note: Attendance at both sessions is required, as each workshop builds upon the previous one.

Great leaders know that how they communicate is just as important as what they communicate. Whether you're presenting to a boardroom, leading a team meeting, pitching an idea, or speaking at a community event, your ability to communicate with clarity and confidence can open doors and inspire action.

Join us for Speak to Lead, a dynamic two-part workshop presented by Emily Merola, CEO & Founder of The Blazer Society, designed to help professionals strengthen their executive presence, craft compelling messages, and deliver them with confidence.

Through interactive instruction, practical exercises, facilitator coaching, and real-world application, you'll learn how to connect with any audience, manage nerves, think on your feet, and speak with purpose and influence.
