Description

For the first time, Traverse Connect is opening the Speak with Courage (formerly Let Her Speak) graduation and finale showcase to the public. Speak with Courage is a hands‑on, in‑person, and deeply supportive professional development experience for women and non‑binary leaders who want to develop their authentic voice and gain confidence as speakers—in business and in life. 

Throughout the program, participants learn how to communicate with clarity, compelling storytelling, and strong presence through breath, body language, vocal tone, preparation, and practice. The June 30th graduation marks the culmination of this experience. 

Led by Dana Black, executive public speaking and performance coach, participants will take the stage at the City Opera House to share professional and personal stories that demonstrate growth, vulnerability, and courageous communication in action.

This public showcase is an opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments of the Speak with Courage cohort and experience the impact of intentional voice and presence from leaders in our region. All are welcome to attend!
