Take your public speaking skills even higher with the help of Own the Room coach Mary Jo Romeo, who is also an executive coach and has held senior management roles with Johnson & Johnson's Baby Center,  The Weather Channel, Working Mother, and more. Own the Room, with a client roster including Facebook, Google, Pandora, ESPN, and others, will offer a series of four virtual workshops (normally $79 per workshop) designed to help you succeed further in today’s workplace, where how you present yourself virtually can mean everything to your career and business.

Workshops

OWN YOUR POWER
| September 22
​
Have you ever stayed quiet in a meeting, shied away from asking for a raise, or felt like your ideas weren't being heard equally? Mary Jo will share actionable strategies to shift your mindset, let go of self-doubt, and realize your full potential. Through a series of engaging activities in this session created exclusively for women, you'll be empowered to speak with strength, lead with confidence, and own your accomplishments in an assertive yet approachable way.

CONNECT FIRST
| October 6

Authenticity leads to trust, trust fosters connection, and connection inspires action. Learn the skills to build authentic connections with your audience, whether you're communicating to a manager, executive board, or prospective client.

BE MEMORABLE
| Oct 27

Your coworkers and clients are bombarded with hundreds of messages on a daily basis. So how can you guarantee that your message stands out? Through a series of interactive exercises, you'll discover how to build stronger connections, spark curiosity, and hold attention by turning passive listeners into active participants every time you speak.

DYNAMIC DELIVERY 
​| Nov 10

As the saying goes, "Content is king." But when it comes to communication—both in-person and virtual--your tone of voice, body language, and delivery greatly impact whether or not your content will stick. In this workshop, you'll discover how to convey confidence, gain credibility, capture  attention, and deliver more effective messages using subtle, powerful voice modulation and non-verbal techniques.
