What if speaking to power felt less like a risk and more like a skill you could grow? In this 60-minute session, Michelle Ornat shares practical strategies for engaging with positional power, such as those in leadership or decision-making roles, with insight and confidence.

The session begins by exploring how awareness is a strategic advantage and how successful conversations start with intention. You will discover how to “plate” a message, whether you are addressing problems or complaints, sharing updates or information, pitching new ideas or proposals, or raising concerns. This approach helps build trust, highlights credibility, and positions you as a thoughtful, solution-oriented leader.

Attendees will learn how to:

• Apply self, relational, and situational awareness to improve communication and outcomes
• Plate problems with solutions, frame updates with outcomes, and pitch ideas with purpose
• Deliver messages, especially sensitive ones, with clarity, structure, and professionalism

Who Will Benefit from this Program:

• All Staff including Supervisors and Managers
