Speaker Series Lineup
Dr. Amy Cuddy
Personal Power and Presence:
Bringing Your Boldest Self to Challenges
September 24, 2025 at 7 p.m.
Our biggest challenges call us to be calmly confident, focused, and open to hearing others. Often, we approach these high-pressure interactions with fear, execute with anxiety and distraction, and leave with regret. Based on her best-selling book Presence, Dr. Cuddy draws from psychology and neuroscience research, personal narratives, and her own challenges.
Audiences will leave with a fresh, life-changing perspective on themselves and their interactions, and a set of simple techniques they can use to harness their power and presence, freeing them to perform and interact at their very best — and empower others to do the same.
