The 60-Second Edge


In today’s fast-paced corporate environment, expertise is the baseline, and visibility is the catalyst. Research shows you have less than a minute to establish authority before an audience (or a room of peers) decides if you are a leader to follow or a voice to talk over.

As a professional woman, your voice is your most valuable business tool. Yet, even high-performers often diminish their power through over-explaining, minimizing language, or hesitating in high-stakes moments. This is not a lecture on communication theory; it is a presentation designed to turn your introduction into an instrument of influence.

Join Leslie Fiorenzo to move beyond "just showing up." You will learn a repeatable formula to craft a signature introduction that commands respect, invites curiosity, and ensures you are never the "best-kept secret" in the room again.

  • Master the 60-Second Metaphor: Understand the psychology of first impressions and how to project "Ready-to-Lead" energy in the first 10 words.

  • Build Your Signature Formula: Draft a concise, high-impact introduction that pivots from what you do to the value you provide.

  • Command the Floor: Learn physical and vocal techniques to "hold your space," effectively managing interruptions and maintaining authority under pressure.

  • Create Your Visibility Roadmap: Walk away with a concrete personal action plan to apply your 60-second signature in your next meeting, interview, or presentation.
