 felt less like a risk and more like a skill you could grow? In this 
 60-minute session\, Michelle Ornat shares practical strategies for engaging 
 with positional power\, such as those in leadership or decision-making 
 roles\, with insight and confidence.\n\nThe session begins by exploring how 
 awareness is a strategic advantage and how successful conversations start 
 with intention. You will discover how to “plate” a message\, whether 
 you are addressing problems or complaints\, sharing updates or 
 information\, pitching new ideas or proposals\, or raising concerns. This 
 approach helps build trust\, highlights credibility\, and positions you as 
 a thoughtful\, solution-oriented leader.\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning
