Nothing brings me more joy than working with a live audience.
Below are a few of my most popular workshops and speaking topics, all of which can be delivered virtually:

Audience A.D.D. & the New Rules of Virtual Public Speaking

In an era of collapsing attention spans, we know instinctively that the old rules of presenting no longer apply. Throw a pandemic into the mix, and it’s a whole new ballgame. Bronwyn offers a new set of guidelines and skills that will help attendees tap into the audience “interest span,” and move people off of their smart phones and onto the edge of their seats. Using a blend of engaged teaching, video examples, and group discussion, this session offers a fresh take on how best to develop and deliver content that is arresting, repeatable, and compelling. This is Audience Empathy : ensuring that content honors the needs of the audience, and the way adults learn, process, and remember new information. 

Active Listening & The Power of Real-Time Curiosity

“The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn’t said,”  - Peter Drucker

A study conducted by George Washington University showed that listening can influence up to 40% of a leader’s job performance. Inc Mag-2016 Yet most of us are woefully unskilled at the simple act of listening. Bronwyn helps participants develop a set of skills that completely transform our presence in a meeting, presentation or interview—virtual or otherwise. Attendees learn the skills required to manage the dissent, push back (or even hostility) that can sometimes plague us as we share new ideas. Participants learn how to hear the message behind the message, and with that knowledge comes tremendous power.

Power & Presence

This workshop gets at the heart of who we are when we stand in front of the room, or these days, go on-camera. We examine what it means to have “presence,” and the role that our authentic “voice” plays in our development as leaders. We also explore the habits that hold us back from clear, compelling communication, and look closely at what is gained from maintaining these behaviors, but also what they cost us. This workshop guides participants to make practical plans to 1) to notice the behaviors and triggers and 2) to make conscious choices, even under pressure, to communicate in ways that are less limiting.

Energy Management & the New Normal 

Remember when we thought life was stressful back in January?

The truth is, we were already running on empty before the pandemic hit, and things have only gotten more “interesting” with each passing day, and every new headline. The good news is, we have an opportunity to become more intentional about how we manage our own energy reserves, and how to consciously call forward our best Selves … not just after that first cup of coffee, but all day long.

In this workshop, Bronwyn offers a framework for actively managing energy—calling each of us out of survival mode, and into a space of power, presence, and connection.
