Confidence in the Pitch: Leading with Authenticity

Confidence in the Pitch: Leading with Authenticity

What if pitching yourself didn’t feel like selling, but like showing up more fully as yourself? In this session, Andrea will share her personal journey of learning to lead with authenticity—whether in a pitch meeting, interview, negotiation, or chance elevator chat. We’ll explore how to build confidence by embracing curiosity, finding power in imperfection, and tuning into the human side of every conversation. | Expect honest stories, practical tools, and the reminder that your authenticity is your edge.
