On January 8, 2026, seasoned business presentation coach Leslie Fiorenzo will share how business professionals can harness the 5–10 minutes before a presentation to step into confidence and clarity. Using her signature Prime Your Presence approach, attendees will learn simple yet powerful strategies to calm nerves, focus their energy, and make a strong first impression.
The mindset with which you approach any situation fundamentally influences your presence. A positive and confident mindset allows you to channel your energy effectively, project assurance, and engage authentically with others. This internal state not only calms nerves but also helps you remain focused and resilient, making a significant difference in how you are perceived.
Whether you're preparing for a client meeting, a pitch, or a networking event, these tools will help you show up as your best, most grounded self.
Our host will be Mary Free Bed, 5500 Burton St., Grand Rapids, MI 49546.
