Founder at Upgrading Women.
Writing and performing a presentation can be a dreadful experience because you are an introvert. Something to highlight, confidence is key to a good presentation. And it’s easy to build your confidence when you know you have the right tools.
After joining this FieldTrip, you will leave with three hacks to build your presentation short and sweet:
• How to map your audience’s journey
• How to choose which data to present
• How to end your presentation like a winner
Rebecca Leppard, the founder of Upgrading Women, uses her Communications degree and 20 years of experience to teach women in tech: skills in presentation, problem-solving, strategy, negotiation, leadership, and internal communications. She is on a mission to help companies retain women and members of underrepresented groups so that they can rise up to the challenge in their careers. There are so many ideas thought of by women and minorities that are not heard because there are too many barriers and biases that prevent us from speaking up in meetings. If we don’t make the necessary changes, we as a society will lose out on life-saving innovations. As an early career builder, you may reach out to her here: linkedin.com/in/leppard

The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.
Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.
Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going!
Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.
We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things. Try “Yes! And…” in conversation.
It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
