Decoding DC
News and politics are moving at lightning speed. Leaders in Washington, DC are upending everything we know about politics. Never has there been so much dramatic news. But what does it all mean – for you and your organization?
Longtime DC journalist Katty Kay has covered both the first and now the second Trump administrations and is well-sourced on both sides of the political aisle. She sorts through all the noise to explain what you really need to pay attention to – decoding what is performance and what is really changing America and the rest of the world.
It has never been more important for business leaders to get an authoritative, objective take on events in Washington. After years living and reporting around the globe, Katty marries her insider access with an outsider’s perspective, bringing a truly global perspective to American politics.
The Confidence Code
Confidence! With it, we can take on the world; without it, we don’t ask for raises, request that important meeting, or take risks.
In the success equation, research shows that confidence is even more critical than competence. But what is confidence? Where does it come from? Are we born with it or do we acquire it? And why do women have less of it than their talents deserve? This speech can be tailored to women or girls/parents and is based on Katty’s bestselling books on the subject.
Katty Kay inspires audiences with the latest scientific research and anecdotes from her own career and the many women and girls she interviewed. Katty’s experience is like that of so many women, even senior women, whose lack of confidence is what really holds them back. The good news then is that being confident is a choice. Katty’s talk inspires audiences to take action – to go outside their comfort zones, to try new hard things, to take risks, to be prepared to fail and to discover the secret to success.
