Chapter Meeting – Charismatic Communication and Annual Meeting

Lead with Charisma is a dynamic one-hour session for project managers who want to elevate their presence and influence.  Through bold insights, live coaching, and simple tools, participants will gain a powerful awareness of how small shifts in energy and communication can make a big impact.

Note: The first 15 minutes of this meeting will be the Portland Chapter Annual Meeitng.

As a project manager, the moment you step into a room—before you even speak—your influence has already begun.

In just seven seconds, your team, stakeholders, and clients start forming opinions:

• Do they trust you enough to follow your lead?
• Do they feel connected to the project, or are they just checking boxes?
• Are you the glue that brings teams together—or just the person sending the next deadline reminder?

While most PMs focus on deliverables, timelines, and reports, the real power to drive alignment, resolve conflicts, and inspire action comes from how you show up—your energy, presence, and delivery.
Your presence is already speaking.
So the question is: What is it saying?
This session introduces you to the missing X-Factor in project leadership:
Charisma.
Not the theatrical kind.
Not fake enthusiasm.
But real, grounded, learnable charisma—the kind that builds trust, gets buy-in, and motivates people to care about what they’re building with you.

In this high-impact session, you will:

• A Shift in Awareness – Recognize the signals you’re sending before you even speak, and shift them to instantly project presence and confidence in meetings, presentations, and tough conversations.
• The First Seven Seconds – Learn how to command the room through body language, eye contact, and energy, especially when presenting updates or rallying your team.
• Practical Tools for Charismatic Communication – Get specific tools to elevate your vocal tone, body language, and executive presence—making your message clear, engaging, and memorable.

Whether you’re leading a sprint review or aligning executives in a boardroom, your presence can be your greatest asset. Let’s turn it into your most strategic advantage. This method has never failed me, and now, I’m bringing it to you.
