Keynote Topics

Keynote #1 : “Get Your “I.T.” Together!”
Intentional Transformation that Unlocks Greater Confidence, Powerful Presence and Authentic Influence

You are not born with the IT Factor. You build it through Intentional Transformation.

In this energizing and thought-provoking keynote, Emmy Award-winning former television news anchor and executive coach Liz

Brunner challenges the long-held belief that confidence, presence, and influence are innate qualities. Instead, she reveals how they can be intentionally cultivated.

Drawing on more than 35 years in media and communications, neuroscience, leadership, and her own experience helping executives and professionals transform how they show up, Liz introduces her powerful IT Factor framework, built around three essential pillars: Physical, Mental, and Relational.

Audiences will discover how aligning these three dimensions can transform not only how they see themselves, but how others experience them—unlocking greater confidence, a more powerful presence, deeper authenticity, and meaningful influence.

The IT Factor isn’t something you either have or don’t have. It’s something you can intentionally create.

Keynote #2 : “COMMUNICATE, CONNECT & ENGAGE”
Each and every person, no matter what profession or industry, needs to exude confidence, “executive presence,” and communicate effectively in all relationships in order to “seal the deal.” Liz Brunner shares her practical and proven communication tips, storytelling techniques and innovative “Brunner Method” for practicing that can be implemented immediately that will energize anyone to connect more authentically with customers, clients and colleagues in a way that resonates, engages and gets results.*

Keynote #3 : “FINDING YOUR AUTHENTIC VOICE”
Your voice is an instrument. It’s the one instrument we all play, but just because you have a voice and can speak, does not necessarily mean you are using it in a way to ensure you are being seen and heard as you intend. Each of us must find our authentic voice. As a former semi-professional singer, award-winning news anchor and executive communications coach, Liz Brunner provides actionable tools of how to find and use your authentic voice, the language required to command respect, and to be seen and heard as you intend.*
