Women Mean Business Luncheon- Mirbeau Inn & Spa

Women Mean Business Luncheon- Mirbeau Inn & Spa
Luncheon will feature Guest Speaker: Stacey Shipman from Developing Brave Communications.

Present Ideas with Ease & Influence
How you present yourself and your ideas - during speeches, meetings, and client conversations - makes a difference in your ability to connect with and influence others. Yet some people get nervous speaking in public, have a hard time communicating ideas in a concise way, and some avoid speaking up all together. This program teaches audiences how to enhance professional presence, capitalize on speaking anxiety, develop a clear message, and establish audience trust. Even if your hands shake and your heart races, you can learn to deliver effective presentations.
When:
Thursday, March 24, 2016 12:00 PM thru 01:30 PM

About Stacey Shipman
As a speaker, author, and founder of Brave Communicator, Stacey Shipman believes that everyone has a message that can make someone life better.

Whether teaching presentation skills, producing events, facilitating a panel conversation, or writing books, connecting people - to their personal power, tools and support, or clients and opportunities - is at the heart of Stacey’s work.

Clients hire Stacey to speak, teach workshops, facilitate and produce events when they want to communicate ideas in a way that builds creditability and trust with the clients & communities they serve. In addition, Stacey produces empowerment retreats for women, publishes the Nervous & Novice pocket guides, and hosts the Brave Communicator podcast (coming soon) where she tackles topics related to leadership, entrepreneurship, & well-being.

More than anything Stacey wants people to know that their stories, knowledge, and ideas matter. When we have the courage to connect to and share the message in our heart, we can make a positive difference.
