COMMUNICATE LIKE YOU MEAN IT!

A Reset for how you connect, influence, and Communicate

Let’s be honest, most communication at work isn’t broken. It’s just noisy, misaligned, and full of good intentions that never land.

This keynote is a reset. Not a tips-and-tricks talk. A realignment with what communication actually is: an act of clarity, connection, and care. When we lose sight of that—and treat people like positions, not people, we create friction we never meant to.

Debbie Peterson brings it back to the basics. She helps audiences understand that clarity starts inside, knowing what you want to say, why it matters, and how to meet others where they are. Because not everyone thinks, listens, or communicates like you do; and that’s the point.

IN THIS INTERACTIVE PROGRAM, PARTICIPANTS WILL discover how to:

R

Build trust, connection, and credibility by understanding how others receive communicate, not just how they speak.

R

Use a practical tool to connect with anyone; across communication styles, personalities, and roles.

R

Communicate with more intention, more ease, and less second-guessing.

When professionals stop performing and start connecting, everything shifts; conversations open up, trust deepens, and influence expands.

This session doesn’t just change how people talk. It reminds them why it matters.

YOU FIRST

LEAD FROM WHO YOU ARE. NOT WHO YOU THINK YOU SHOULD BE.

Authenticity isn’t a buzzword; it’s a decision point. And if you’ve been trying to “figure out” how to lead, grow, or move forward by being everything to everyone… you’re not alone. But you’re also not helping yourself.

This keynote is a reset. A moment to stop performing and start aligning with who you are, because that’s where real momentum begins.

Debbie Peterson unpacks three mindset patterns that quietly derail progress: confusion, when you’re unclear about who you are or what really matters; chameleon mode, when you shape-shift to fit in and lose yourself in the process; and chaos, when you’re chasing everything and prioritizing nothing.

IN THIS INTERACTIVE PROGRAM, PARTICIPANTS WILL DISCOVER:

R

What’s holding them back from showing up fully.

R

How to reconnect with the values and voice that guide authentic leadership.

R

How to build the clarity and confidence to own their role—without apology or pretense.

This keynote isn’t about fixing what’s wrong. It’s about returning to what’s real.

Because the fastest way forward… is back to yourself.
