“Yesterday, New York Times bestselling author and powerhouse speaker, Jodee Blanco turned the idea of “presentation skills” on its head — and handed us the tools to do the same. No hype. No gimmicks. Just a bold, human approach to showing up with purpose.
This wasn’t about flashy slides or perfect scripts. It was about learning how to lead with truth, compassion, and real connection — whether you're pitching one-on-one or owning a ballroom.
Key takeaways: - Be authentic and vulnerable. You don’t have to be loud to be powerful. - Lead with truth and compassion. That’s where trust starts. - Be prepared, not rehearsed. Your story > your script.
From sound checks to centering exercises, eye contact to energy levels, Jodee showed us that great presentations aren’t born — they’re built through intention, strategy, and self-awareness.
And yes, we practiced — because this wasn’t a lecture, it was a movement toward showing up more powerfully, more purposefully, and more us.
Let’s build a culture where we don’t just present — we connect”

“Jodee’s workshop completely shifted how I think about presenting. She has a rare gift for breaking down the simplest communication habits — the ones we don’t even realize we have — and helping you rebuild them with intention and confidence. Her energy, insight, and vulnerability create a space where everyone feels seen and empowered to show up more fully. Whether you’re a seasoned executive or just getting comfortable in front of a room, Jodee meets you exactly where you are. I walked away with tools I’ll use in every meeting, pitch, and presentation moving forward — and a deeper awareness of how I want to connect with my audience. If you have the chance to work with Jodee, take it.”
