Speak Up and Influence:

A 4-week

Improv-Infused Experience

for  The

C-Sweet Community

 led by C-Sweet Executive Coach

Darlene Hawley to help you communicate with

power, clarity, and confidence in every room you enter.

In partnership with C-Sweet, I’m thrilled to offer this exclusive leadership development opportunity to members and guests of the C-Sweet community.


Whether you're navigating executive meetings, leading a team, or pitching your next big idea, your ability to speak up—and influence—matters more than ever.


This 4-week, improv-style experience blends coaching, role-play, and group conversation to strengthen your voice, presence, and persuasive communication skills.




In Step into Your Moxie® Speak Up and Influence, participants will strengthen their inner and outer voice so that they can speak up for themselves and the ideas and issues that matter most to your company.


By the end of this experience, participants will be able to:

✅Reframe diminishing self-talk so that it supports rather than undermines communication confidence 

✅Harness a “Yes And” attitude and play nicely with feelings that come up when presenting ideas and navigating uncomfortable situations

✅Minimize vocalized thinking and amplify their speaking presence to increase credibility, likeability, and trust

✅Call people to take action on ideas in low and high stakes speaking situations (i.e., team meetings, project pitches, or presentations)

✅Address common pain points and personal motivators that get in the way of people taking action

✅Articulate their value and go after visibility opportunities that position them/your company as thought leaders

I worked with Darlene to role-play a difficult conversation I had been avoiding. She guided me through transforming it into what she calls a 'daring conversation'—one that fosters honesty, connection, and growth. After just one session, I felt equipped with empathy, clarity, and confidence. I finally had that long-overdue talk with a key team member, and it went better than I could have imagined! - Sandy, Executive Leader~ 1:1 Client
