In today’s corporate world, it is not enough to simply be good at what you do. Each and every person, no matter what profession or industry, needs to exude confidence, “executive presence,” maximize their brand, communicate effectively in all relationships with elevated presentation skills, and at the same time, be their authentic self in order to “seal the deal.” However, we are not born knowing how to have “presence,” nor how to communicate clearly. These are learned skills.

Leveraging more than 35+ years of experience in the communications field, Certified Professional Communications Coach, keynote speaker, best-selling author and award-winning journalist, Liz Brunner will share practical and proven tips and techniques that can be implemented immediately. Participants will hone existing skills and develop new skills, creating their own “personal toolbox.” This toolbox will help you learn how to command a room with presence and confidence, how to use your nonverbal and verbal skills to your advantage, how to effectively convey any message in any communication setting resulting in more effective, powerful, succinct messaging and engagement, in-person or virtually. This keynote and/or workshop creates better leaders, better communicators, who perform at a higher level for sustainable, long-term success.

You know more than you think you know! No knowledge or experience is ever wasted.

Too often we hesitate to step out of our comfort zone to create our next chapter because we don’t know how, we are afraid or we are unsure of how to connect the themes and patterns of our lives. What would any of us do if we didn’t allow fear to stop us? Liz Brunner’s motivational message will guide you to connect the dots of your own life experiences to create your next chapter, personally or professionally, for intentional impact.  Liz’s inspirational career journey from classroom to newsroom to boardroom to the stage as a keynote speaker will motivate you to discover what themes exist in your own journey, how to connect those dots, and how to break any patterns that may be holding you back from following your destiny and living your best life.

No one is born knowing how to be a leader. We learn how to be a leader. With so much uncertainty in the world, leaders face challenges and complexities requiring a renewed commitment to flexibility, resilience and innovation.

As a sought after best-selling self-development author, leader, and keynote speaker, Liz Brunner offers guidance that will inspire audience members to unleash the leader within and invite others to refine their own leadership skills.
