Speaking TopicsEmpowering Women’s Voices
The Expressive Litigator
There are professional challenges that all women in the professional
arena face each day. There are many reasons, both culturally and socially,
why we lose our voices. And although we can’t change society quickly,
we can rediscover our natural authentic vocal power!
Empowering Women’s Voices consists of sequential exercises that work
on our body’s muscle memory to actually learn to speak in new and more
effective ways.
Expressivity and confidence in front of judge and jury, the ability to
build suspense and to hold an audience are all skills that can be taught!
Interactive, informative and fun – these exercises produce lasting results
and can be applied immediately.
Participants delve deeply into various aspects of voice, including breath,
resonance, articulation, inflection that communicates meaning and using
verb imagery to find authenticity and variety. Using their own opening/
closing statements, participants can receive one to one coaching to
enhance confidence and effectiveness.

Praise About Rena“I didn’t get a chance to say this in person
yesterday, but I couldn’t let the thought go
unsaid: your performance yesterday at 1 million
cups was fantastic! Inspiring! Motivating! …
Everyone seemed incredibly receptive to you
and your new project. Congratulations.”
Rena is a polished, engaging speaker whose
expertise on the subject of speech lends
her instant credibility. Her presentation
gives listeners the tools to speak clearly and
confidently in settings large and small.
Your time with us was engaging and I was SO
motivated by you and your energy. I believe
what you did was the best I’ve seen since I’ve
been involved with OJT. Your ability to move
them (me) to laughter while you encourage self
analysis and confidence... is simply amazing!!
“Sign her up! She is a blast! Rena is very
knowledgeable and is able to share her
knowledge in an applicable way.”
