Shed The
Formality
Speaking, networking, facilitating - whatever feels awkward - can feel natural if you drop what's holding you back.
Why Engage The Room?
Unconventional learning studio for technically trained or analytically minded purpose-driven leaders to relinquish formal protocols stifling their personality and ideas.
Because you can’t advocate for yourself or your genius hiding behind: “I’m too busy,” perfectionism, data, PowerPoints, collaborators who get all the credit, or the belief you need more credentials.
Plus, human connection is impossible when you are acting like a robot.
Boring, bland and basic are default settings – but they aren’t the only settings. With the right setting, you can drop learned behavior that never felt natural in the first place, step out of the conventional bubble and engage the room with who you really are.
