About this event

Great leaders are masterful communicators. Many women communicate in a collaborative, inclusive style that is invaluable for building relationships. But, we’re also inclined to certain language habits—like frequent apologising—that don’t serve leadership. In fact, these common habits detract from our authority, integrity, and effectiveness.


In this one-hour workshop, we’ll answer theses questions:

>What is the psychology behind women’s over-apologizing?

>How do these ‘apologies’ impact how we are perceived in the workplace?

>What assertive, empowering language can we use to replace our apologies?


Workshop Takeaways:

>Recognize when you might be habitually apologising in your communication

>Understand the psychology that drives the urge to over-apologize

>Grasp the impact of apologetic language on leadership presence and authority

>Gain practical strategies for substituting apologies with assertive, empowering communication


Join us for this interactive workshop to transform your communication style and learn the language of leadership.


This workshop is a creative collaboration between Rebecca Williams, Nina Rosner, and Becky Tsadik.
