Speak UP and Stand OUT: Finding Your Influential Voice

As a professional who makes presentations, your ability to influence during presentations can make or break your effectiveness and your career. In this interactive session, Cyndi Maxey, an expert trainer, speaker and coach, will guide you to be more influential and powerful in your presentations. Maxey, author of “Speak Up! A Woman’s Guide To Presenting Like a Pro,” will enlighten women on how to overcome common traps they fall into and to design a message that is simple and clear while maximizing their female strengths. Men are also encouraged to attend to participate in uncovering a better understanding of gender differences in presentation styles and how they can be embraced or overcome to put all employees at the greatest advantage during their next professional presentation.

Cyndi Maxey, MA, CSP, specializes in presentations and communication that drives profitable performance. Owner of Maxey Creative Inc. since 1989 and graduate of Northwestern University’s School of Speech, Cyndi is a Past President of National Speakers Association – Illinois Chapter and former NSA National CSP Council member.
