Saturday Sessions
Speak Up, Stand Out:
Public Speaking Practice Lab
Saturday, March 21st, 2026
You’re a strong leader. Your team trusts you, your work speaks for itself, and you know your stuff. But when it’s time to present cross-functionally, pitch to senior leadership, or make your case in a room where the stakes are higher, your message doesn’t always land as intended.
This isn’t a passive webinar; it’s a Practice Lab where you’ll sharpen how you show up when it matters most. Saturday Sessions are live weekend workshops created to make learning more accessible for busy professionals who want to grow without adding more to their weekday calendar. Join us on Saturday, March 21st, 2026, at 11 am CST.

Your Expertise Isn’t the Problem. How You Communicate It Is.
You’re credible. You’re capable. You deliver results. But somewhere between your team and the rest of the organization, your message loses its edge.
Maybe you’re great in your own meetings, but sound too tactical when presenting to senior leadership.
Maybe you’ve had a solid proposal stall because you didn’t frame it in terms the room cared about.
Or maybe you’re getting pulled into more high-visibility moments – executive updates, cross-functional presentations, steering committees – and you know you need to show up differently.
The issue isn’t your expertise.
It’s the translation.
The leaders who move organizations forward aren’t just smart; they know how to communicate what they know in a way that builds credibility and drives decisions.
That’s a skill, and like any skill, it gets sharper with intentional practice.
This session gives you that practice.
My goal in attending Summer's workshop was to increase my confidence in public speaking and learn to communicate more effectively and with ease. The session was incredibly valuable, as it provided concrete strategies on how to deliver clear, concise communication while speaking with authority. I walked away feeling better equipped to speak with authority in numerous settings. As a result, my confidence has increased and I feel my communication style truly positions me as a leader.

I really enjoyed Coach Summers' virtual workshop on public speaking. The 3P model she introduced was especially impactful and stood out to me right away. I was able to apply it almost immediately to prepare for a class discussion later that week, and it significantly boosted my confidence in presenting ideas I had put together last minute. The workshop was practical, encouraging, and incredibly timely.

Summer Alexander
Hey, I’m Summer Alexander, a Public Speaking and Leadership Coach who helps leaders communicate with confidence and lead with influence.
I’ve spent more than 15 years designing and facilitating leadership programs for global organizations, teaching thousands of leaders how to communicate in ways that move people to action.
My approach is human-centered, practical, and a little unconventional because I believe learning should feel like a real conversation, not a lecture.
When I teach, my goal is simple: to help you understand why certain communication strategies work and give you tools you can use right away in your next meeting, presentation, or conversation.
By the end of our time together, I want you to feel equipped, encouraged, and ready to show up as the kind of leader people want to listen to.
