SUMMARY:Global: Executive Development Series: Executive Presence & Influence
DESCRIPTION:Executive Presence & Influence \nPart of the Executive Development Series\nExecutive presence is the ability to command attention\, build trust and inspire others to follow you. In the high-visibility world of media\, entertainment and technology\, leaders are often judged in seconds on how they show up\, what they say and how they say it. Executive Presence & Influence helps you shape those first impressions and everyday interactions so they consistently reinforce your leadership brand. \nThis EDS program blends practical frameworks\, rehearsal and real-time feedback to develop a presence that is both authentic and impactful. Drawing on ideas such as the “7-11 rule\,” which suggests that in the first seven seconds people form quick judgments about your credibility and likeability\, the experience moves from inner mindset to outward expression. It culminates in the Confident Casual® target\, where you project poise and authority while remaining approachable and engaging\, in person and in virtual settings. \nProgram Purpose\nThe goal is to develop leaders who project clear\, credible executive presence and use it to influence people and outcomes in a positive way. Participants sharpen their self-awareness\, refine their communication style and gain practical tools to show up consistently in a way that inspires confidence\, increases visibility and supports their career progression\, including in AI-enabled workplaces. \nClick here to learn more and register.

SUMMARY:Global Webinar: Be the CEO of Your Career
DESCRIPTION:Be the CEO of Your Career\n\nWednesday\, March 4 | Time: 11:00 am – 12:00 pm (Eastern)\nWEBINAR SPEAKER:\nKaren Kunkel Young\, Executive Leadership and Career Coach \nMost professionals were taught how to follow a career path.

Participants will learn how to communicate their value with confidence\, navigate transitions without losing momentum\, and design opportunities rather than react to change. \nParticipants will leave with: \n\nA stronger identity as the CEO of their own career.\nClear language to communicate their value with confidence and influence.\nA practical framework for navigating transitions and pivots.\nTools to make strategic career decisions instead of reactive ones.\n\nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Global Webinar: Be Your Own Ally
DESCRIPTION:Be Your Own Ally: Why Showing Up for You First Matters\nThursday\, February 5 | Time: 11:00 am – 12:00 pm (Eastern) \nWEBINAR SPEAKERS:\nEric Spencer\, COO\, SkyeTeam & Ruby Vesely\, CSO\, SkyeTeam \nBased on the book You\, Me\, We: Why We All Need a Friend at Work (and How to Show Up As One!)\, this interactive session will explore the five practices of an Ally Mindset: Abundance & Generosity\, Connection & Compassion\, Courage & Vulnerability\, Candor & Debate\, and Action & Accountability. We most often think of these qualities in reference to how we show up in our relationships with others\, AND it also applies to how we take care of ourselves. In this interactive session\, you will learn how to “show up” as a friend for yourself first\, so you can then show up for others in a more connected and meaningful way. \nThe audience will leave with: \n\nAn increased awareness of the impact on your life when you do not prioritize self-care.\nAn understanding of how the five qualities of an Ally Mindset apply to oneself.\nIncreased self-awareness of how you consistently show up for yourself.\n\nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:The WICT Network: From Apology to Authority Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The WICT Network Leadership Conference & Touchstones Luncheon \nComplimentary Webinar — exclusively for The WICT Network Executive Members  \nHave you ever wondered why some of the most accomplished people you know — and that probably includes yourself — sometimes self-sabotage? Research shows that about 70% of professionals have experienced imposter syndrome at some point in their lives. It’s especially common in high-pressure or competitive environments\, where feelings of not belonging or not being capable can persist despite clear evidence of competence and success. \nSelf-defeating beliefs\, perfectionism and the tendency to over-apologize can hold talented individuals back from realizing their full potential. But it doesn’t have to be that way. \nIn this interactive webinar\, award-winning keynote speaker and C-Suite executive Shira Miller shares a powerful framework for shifting from apology to authority. You’ll walk away with actionable tools to conquer self-doubt\, eliminate self-sabotage and fully own your strengths. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nWhy self-doubt has you stuck — and what to do about it\nHow to remove internal obstacles and limiting beliefs\n5 ways to break the cycle of unnecessary apology-speak\nA quick confidence-building exercise\nPractical tips for owning your greatness\n\nClick here to register.
