Bio

As a leader, your voice matters. Your ability to enter a room with presence and speak in a way that commands attention helps you build trust with clients and colleagues and directly influences your leadership trajectory. In an age of artificial intelligence, constant disruption, and rapid change, authentic communication is no longer a “soft skill” — it’s a business imperative. When used strategically, AI can help leaders clarify their message, scale trust, and lead with greater presence, empathy, and impact. Whether you’re speaking to your team, your board, or your clients, it’s your voice which is your most valuable leadership asset.

Allison Shapira helps leaders tap into that power. An adjunct lecturer at the Harvard Kennedy School, former opera singer, and Founder/CEO of Global Public Speaking, Allison has spent over 20 years working with Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and nonprofits around the world. She equips leaders with the tools to communicate authentically, confidently, and effectively — in person, online, or in partnership with AI. Her book, Speak with Impact: How to Command the Room and In?uence Others, was a Washington Post bestseller. Her new book, AI for the Authentic Leader: How AI Can Help You Lead with Confidence, Clarity, and Influence (October 2025) is a concise, high-impact guide packed with takeaways leaders can immediately apply within their organizations.
