WORKSHOP - Presence Builds Trust: How You Show Up Shapes How You’re Believed and Received

People don't just trust your message—they trust how you deliver it. This dynamic and experiential session explores the powerful connection between leadership presence and trust. Participants will discover how body language, vocal delivery, emotional alignment, and nonverbal communication influence perception, credibility, and impact. Through interactive exercises, practical application, and real-world examples, attendees will identify the subtle behaviors that strengthen—or unintentionally undermine—their effectiveness.

In today's fast-paced and highly visible leadership environment, your presence communicates you: solid, credible, genuine, and trustworthy long before you speak. Whether you're presenting to donors, leading staff, engaging community partners, navigating change, or influencing stakeholders, how you show up directly impacts how your message is received.

Designed for museum, cultural, and communications leaders, this workshop provides actionable tools to increase executive presence, communicate with greater confidence, and build stronger connections with diverse audiences. Participants will leave with strategies they can immediately apply to enhance influence, deepen trust, and lead with greater intention and impact. When presence and purpose align, trust follows—and trust drives results.

WORKSHOP - The Currency of Trust: How to Build, Repair, and Sustain It In Today’s Workplace

In this engaging and interactive session, Gail Green explores why trust is no longer a "nice-to-have" leadership quality, but a critical driver of performance, engagement, retention, collaboration, and innovation. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how trust is built, what causes it to break down, and what leaders can do to intentionally strengthen it every day.

Trust is the foundation of every successful workplace relationship—and one of the most valuable assets a leader can cultivate. Yet in today's rapidly changing environment, trust can feel increasingly fragile. Organizational change, competing priorities, hybrid work, communication breakdowns, and uncertainty can erode trust faster than many leaders realize.

Through practical tools, real-world examples, and meaningful audience participation, attendees will learn actionable strategies for creating psychological safety, increasing accountability, strengthening communication, and rebuilding trust after conflict, change, or disruption. Whether you lead a team, manage stakeholders, or influence across an organization, the ability to cultivate trust is essential to achieving sustainable results.

Participants will leave with a clear framework for building stronger relationships, fostering greater connection, and creating workplace cultures where people feel valued, respected, and empowered to do their best work.
