You have 30 seconds to capture your audience’s attention, in the boardroom, in an interview, on a stage, or in any situation. It doesn’t matter how “right” you are, if your audience can’t hear you, you will not be effective and therefore will not have influence and impact.
This highly interactive and experiential one-day workshop hones in on your “secret weapons”, establish your “presence points” and practice specific tools to Master Your Message®. It provides you with experiences that teach flexibility, how to connect deeply with your identity and values, and how to be present in the moment: a foundational platform of Powerful Presence and Communication, which is an essential prerequisite to high level communications including public speaking. It draws upon cutting edge clinical research and practical experience in the fields of neuroscience, sensory integration, systems theory, coaching, speech/language/voice and leadership. Please join us only if you are prepared to be fully engaged in a variety of exercises with other members of the group.

Abby Berenson, Associate Director, MIT Leadership Center
Enrollment: Limited: Advance sign-up required
Sign-up by 01/24
Limited to 24 participants
Attendance: Participants must attend all sessions
Students will be exposed to the basic ideas, frameworks, and the experiential learning methods of Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey’s highly acclaimed Immunity to Change framework. The workshop is a participant-driven exploration of people’s resistance to change. We will examine our own resistance as well as the resistance of groups to change and will develop actions plans and generate options for coaching and leadership to overcome these resistances.
Methodology: The workshop includes personal work as well peer coaching and small group work. Throughout the exercise, participants will be exposed to a diagnostic process that illuminates persistent and stubborn barriers to change and improvement that endure beyond the workshop. Participants will be given tools to support and coach each other and to make progress on the challenges they face.

All of us at the MIT Community are here because we hold ourselves to extremely high standards, we dare to move beyond the mediocre, we push boundaries, we start new things, we grow beyond the merely comfortable. And yet at some point, 70% of us feel caught in doubt or low self-worth that make us fall into self-limiting behaviors like procrastination, risk aversion or overwork.
In order to help you unleash your highest future potential, in this experiential and dynamic workshop, we want to invite you to play and experiment while you:
Examine what mindsets and beliefs lie behind these self-limiting behaviors
Learn how to let doubt move you into action
Take home a toolbox with 10 concrete strategies to put into practice in your every day life.
