Executive stage presence coach Erin Duffy returns to discuss how authentic leadership presence transforms careers and inspires others, whether on camera or in person. She shares practical techniques for creating meaningful connections in virtual environments and challenges common misconceptions about what it means to be a leader.

• The key to camera confidence is seeing beyond the technology to connect with the person on the other side
• Leaders create "a 3D world in a 2D space" by bringing their full selves to virtual environments
• Leadership isn't about managing people but taking initiative on things that matter to you
• Mid-career professionals need to reclaim dormant parts of themselves to advance to the next level
• Women often feel they need to be 100% qualified for a role while men apply with only 60% qualifications
• The "inner game" involves reconnecting with past successes and what truly energizes you
• "When we show up 100% our authentic self, we have no competition"
• Your presence affects everyone in the room - by owning your authentic self, you inspire future leaders

Opera singer and vocal coach Ekaterina Kardakova shares powerful insights on how voice techniques from the stage can transform business leaders' communication and presence. She reveals her journey from performing at prestigious venues like La Scala to helping executives harness their voices to build trust, credibility, and influence in the corporate world.

• Most business professionals underestimate voice's crucial role in communication and influence
• Voice training isn't just technical—it's deeply connected to emotions and self-expression
• Creating a "Future Self" avatar helps clients envision their potential and make small daily changes
• Voice reveals our true emotions, regardless of our words
• Confident voices typically sound deeper, slower, and clearer, instantly signaling authority
• Allowing yourself to make "loud and ugly" sounds is the first step to vocal freedom
• Body consciousness—awareness of how your physical instrument produces sound—is essential
• "Leadership is an acting skill"—knowing when and how to embody leadership qualities

Start exploring your voice today—it's a diamond waiting to be shaped into something brilliant and uniquely yours.

Emmy award-winning vocalist and intuitive vocal coach Deonna Marie shares her powerful journey from childhood trauma to becoming a transformative voice teacher who heals more than just vocal technique. Through her unique approach, she helps clients remove psychological masks and connect with their authentic expression, teaching that true singing is about feeling, not just sound.

• Discovering her singing talent during childhood trauma when her mother went to prison
• Overcoming drug addiction and finding forgiveness through unexpected personal experience 
• Receiving divine guidance that led her to classical vocal training in Italy
• Developing intuitive abilities during three years of vocal silence after surgery
• Creating an unconditional, judgment-free space where clients feel seen and understood
• Teaching clients to identify and remove masks that hide their authentic selves
• Focusing on emotional connection before technical singing ("a feeling, not a sound")
• Using daily meditation and specific intention-setting to stay aligned with purpose
• Asking three daily questions: "What do you want me to do? What do you want me to say and to whom?"

Whatever your heart truly desires belongs to you. If something is in your soul and heart's desire, it's because you're supposed to have it. Don't let anyone, including yourself, tell you that you're not worthy of your dreams.
