People decide how seriously to take you before you finish your first sentence. Your posture, your pace, and your voice are already shaping that impression before people have even heard your message. Most people never fully realize what they're signaling to others. Set on the Starchild Rooftop, 27 floors above Midtown, this interactive experience is designed for founders and leaders who want to understand how they come across and learn how to shift it with intention. You'll receive The Authority Edge Guide: a research-backed set of 8 precise signals that shape how authority and credibility are perceived, developed by Dr. Sumeyra Ozturk, executive communication expert and founder of Speech & Mind. You'll apply them in live conversations, experimenting with different techniques and noticing how small shifts in delivery and presence change the way people respond to you. No lectures, no awkward spotlight. Just practical tools that help you project greater confidence, authority, and credibility in every room you walk into after this. What to Expect ✦ A curated crowd of founders and tech leaders ✦ Practical tools you can start using immediately ✦ The Authority Edge Guide to take home ✦ Rooftop views, real conversations, and a relaxed atmosphere Run of Show 🕕 6:30–6:45 PM: Arrival & Check-In 🎤 6:45–7:45 PM: Practices 🥂 7:45–8:30 PM: Open Networking A rooftop experience for founders and tech leaders who want to be taken seriously the moment they walk in. ​📸 Photos and videos may be taken for promotional use.
