SUMMARY:Bid Booster Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Free Webinar\n\n \n\nDate: First Tuesday of every month\, 12:00 – 1:00 pm MST\n\nRemember the inspiring movie\, Rocky?\nIn the film\, a poor\, unknown boxer gets an unlikely shot at the world boxing heavyweight championship. Most experts will tell you the odds of winning the championship are often spread evenly among the best 7 to 10 competitors – but unknown stars can alter those odds. \nWhen the bell rings for your bid presentation round\, your client already knows three things about you: \n\nYou have the right skills.\nYou have the right technology.\nYou have the right experience.\n\nThe real challenge? Your client knows those same things about your competitors (they also know about your price). \nLike a boxing match\, weeks and even months of proposal writing come down to one hour or less in the bid presentation ring. Regardless of whether you’re the current champ\, a respectable fighter\, or an upstart beginner\, you want to win the round. \nGive your bid presentation a brief but meaningful workout with our 45-minute free webinar. We’ll go a few rounds with 3 secrets to bid presentation success including: \n\nCapturing – and keeping – your audience’s attention through deep understanding\nMobilizing powerful verbal and non-verbal cues in strategic story telling\, executive presence\, and empathic communication\nActivating powerful visual strategies that enhance your connection\n\nReady to get in the ring?\n  \nRegister Now \nClaim Your Confidence for Women Challenge\nStand and Speak Challenge

SUMMARY:Claim Your Confidence for Women Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Free Webinar\n\n \n\nDate: Second Tuesday of every month\, 12:00 – 1:00 pm MST\n\nI was recently in discussions with a senior male leader about a communication program for his company of over 80% male employees. He and his wife had kindly hosted me for dinner the previous evening.  \n“Why do you have a course on male/female communication?”\, he asked skeptically. “I mean\, it’s the 21st century. Do we really need it?” \nI paused for a second and asked\, “Do you understand your wife\, Bill?” (Name changed to protect the innocent.) \n“No”\, he said\, smiling sheepishly. “Point taken”. \nWe kept the course in the program. \nI liked Bill. He was a well-meaning and sincere leader committed to hiring more women into his technology-based company. \nBut as a woman leader who has spent much of my career in male-dominated fields\, I have learned firsthand that\, regardless of the century\, men and women very much do communicate differently. And it matters. \n\nIt matters when you’re trying to advance ideas.\nIt matters when you need to influence other leaders.\nAnd it definitely matters when it comes to performance\, pay\, and promotions.\n\nThrough much trial and error\, I learned how to adjust my communication style to be more effective as a woman leader – all while staying true to myself. \nAre you ready to claim your confidence by using the power of: \n\nThe words you choose\nThe tone you use\nYour body language cues?\n\nReady to start communicating with influence?\n  \nRegister Now \nBid Booster Challenge\nStand and Speak Challenge

SUMMARY:Stand and Speak Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Free Webinar\n\n \n\nDate: Third Tuesday of every month\, 12:00 – 1:00 pm MST\n\nAccording to Batman\, these are the top 5 reasons people don’t develop speaking skills:\n(Not really but it got your attention\, right? Congratulations! You’ve just learned the first secret of effective public speaking.) \nReason 1: My speaking abilities aren’t good enough\nEveryone has a speaking superpower – and we’ll help you discover yours! We’re not talking Batman-like superpowers (although by all means\, you do you). We’ve taken people from terrified to terrific in under 3 days! \nReason 2: I don’t give many speeches\, so it’s unnecessary\n“All speaking is public speaking\, whether it’s to one or one thousand” (Roger Love\, Vocal Coach). Unless you’re living under a rock (or in the Bat Cave)\, you will be speaking to someone\, sometime\, somewhere. If you are living in the Bat Cave\, we’ll help you feel good about leaving it. \nReason 3: I’m not in sales\nThe fact is\, we’re all in sales. Want to get your leader’s approval for more budget? You need to persuade her. Want to convince your interviewers you’re the right candidate for the job? You need to demonstrate it. Want to convince Robin it’s time to leave the Bat Cave? You need to build a compelling case that no one will laugh at his costume. \nReason 4: It’s not a good time\nIt’s never a ‘good’ time when the Bat Signal summons you – but you still need to be ready when duty calls. After all\, Bruce Wayne spent years training himself both physically and mentally to prepare for his crime fighting duties. We promise it won’t take nearly that long to claim your rightful place as a speaking superhero (see Reason #1!). \nReason 5: I know my products and clients so I’m good\nThe best products or services in the world won’t sell if you can’t truly connect with your clients. Just ask Batman. He must connect effectively with both superheroes and evil criminals\, always trying to achieve agreement without violence. We’ve never once had a speaking class break out into a brawl\, but we have shown hundreds of people how to influence\, persuade\, and inspire. \nReady to smash your excuses (sorry\, “reasons”) and claim your speaking super powers?\n  \nRegister Now \nBid Booster Challenge\nClaim Your Confidence for Women Challenge
