6:30 Regain Your Voice, Own Your Power & Change the Conversation — Interactive Presentation by Margaret Malewski, Founder & CEO, Cascais Business Bootcamp; CEO of Tech Startup Liquivision Products, Inc; Executive MBA Lecturer at the University of Maryland Robert H. Smith School of Business (https://www.linkedin.com/in/margaretmalewski/)
You’ve just crushed a business presentation. You feel unstoppable. Then comes the question—personal, intrusive, or just plain off-key.
In a split second, your confidence evaporates. Your cheeks burn, your throat tightens, and you freeze. By the time you think of the perfect comeback, the moment—and your control over the narrative—is gone.
It doesn’t have to end that way.
Join us for a transformative session where we ditch the “freeze response” and replace it with a toolkit for immediate power. You will learn:
The “Reset” Button: A simple technique to regain your voice the moment you feel stuck.
Power Dynamics 101: A framework to understand who holds the power in a room—and how to take it back.
Tactical Influence: How to navigate the crucial conversations that define your career trajectory.
Note: This is not a lecture. Come ready to dive in, test your skills, and leave with a new voice.
About Our Speaker:
Margaret isn’t just a speaker; she’s a catalyst for change. As the founder of Cascais Business Bootcamp and a former tech CEO who sold her venture-funded startup, Margaret knows what it takes to command a room. She helps professional women stop performing for others and start building the lives they dream of. A returning favorite at IBW, Margaret combines street-smart entrepreneurship with academic rigor, drawing on her experience teaching Executive MBAs at the University of Maryland.
7.15 — 8:30 Open Networking Enjoy light refreshments while building authentic connections.
