Public Speaking | Virtual Communication Professional Presence | Difficult Conversations SWAY: Communication that moves people Embody the skills of great communicators, presenters, and leaders—people who have sway. What we say is important. But how we say it determines its impact. The secret resides in our own ability to sway. My presentation and communication skills training is rooted in the world of performance where artists have developed techniques that ground us so that our communication is free, present, agile, fluid, immediate, unexpected. Alive. It sways._ The courage to stand up, speak out, and share our stories builds as we hone our skills. Together we work to to strip away the habits and anxieties that cloud us, so that when we speak, there is a sense of aliveness that engages, surprises, and has sway. I want all of us to be comfortable in our own skins, able to read the room, take risks, use humor, share stories, and bring our full selves onto the TED stage, into the board room, the cocktail party, the wedding tent, into high-stakes conversations, interviews, and importantly, into our most precious relationships. Come sway with me!
