You don’t need a title change to be a leader; you already hold one of the most powerful seats in the organization. As communicators, we shape narratives, manage perception, influence decisions, and guide how our institutions show up in the world. We sit at the intersection of strategy, trust, and action. This session is a reminder, and a challenge, to stop waiting for permission to lead and start owning the strategic value (and secret sauce) you bring every day.  We’ll explore how to lead with intention, show up with authority, and speak with a voice that moves missions forward. Attendees will walk away with tools on how lead from wherever they sit, communicate with authority, and elevate their voice to shape decisions, not just deliver them.   If you've ever been overlooked, underestimated, or stuck in a support role while providing top-level insight, this session is your permission slip (and your playbook) to fully tap into your talent and power. Come learn and laugh in a safe space with a veteran PR practitioner.
