The Quiet AuthorityA leadership presence keynote
Why the loudest person in the room is rarely the most powerful
Dr. Christiane Schroeter · TEDx speaker · Professor · Author of Petite Practice®
The science, made simple
Behavioral economics your audience can use on Monday
Clarity reads as credibility
Listeners judge confidence by how clearly a point is made. A short, specific statement is easier to remember and repeat, so it keeps working after the meeting ends.
The default decides
Behavioral economics shows that people stick with the default. If you never state your no or your ask, the default decides for you. Saying it out loud changes the default.

Want Big Change? Start With Small Steps · TEDxFolsom
How the talk unfolds
From a story in the room to a step they take home
What your audience leaves with
Three moves to use on Monday
Say less in the meeting and get quoted more after it
One clear point, made once, travels further than five made in passing.
Decide what you will not do this quarter, and say it out loud
A spoken no protects the yes that matters.
Ask for the room, the raise or the role in one clear sentence
The ask gets shorter. The answer gets easier to give.
