Ask an Expert - Own the Room: Public Speaking for Small Business Owners Online
You know your business better than anyone — now it’s time to talk about it like a pro. Whether you're pitching to potential partners, speaking at markets, or networking with new clients, how you present your business matters.

With decades of experience commanding the spotlight and helping others shine, Viviana will walk you through how to speak about your business with clarity, confidence, and charisma.
But this isn’t just a passive session—you’ll get the chance to practice your pitch live and receive personalized feedback from Viviana herself! After the main presentation, we’ll move into small, supportive breakout groups so every participant can practice, reflect, and improve their delivery in real time.
