Powerful Women Communicating with Powerful Men

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2026
2 p.m. - 3 p.m. ET/1 p.m. - 2 p.m. CST

Webinar

Success in leadership isn’t just about what you say, it’s about how you’re heard. In this insightful and highly practical webinar, Aimee Kaye, President and CEO of Sageview Consulting, explores how women can communicate more effectively, strategically, and confidently with powerful male leaders, colleagues, and decision-makers. With more than two decades of experience in senior executive roles, including 20 years as Senior Vice President of Human Resources and Administration at Madison Square Garden reporting directly to the President and CEO and overseeing HR for more than 9,000 employees across multiple major brands and unions, Aimee brings a rare, real-world perspective on power, influence, and executive communication at the highest levels.

Drawing on her work advising CEOs, boards, and leadership teams in both for-profit and nonprofit organizations, Aimee will share practical strategies to help women:

• Navigate power dynamics with clarity and confidence
• Strengthen executive presence and credibility
• Communicate ideas in ways that resonate and gain traction
• Avoid common communication traps that can unintentionally undermine influence
• Advocate more effectively for themselves, their teams, and their organizations

The session highlights key differences in communication styles, particularly how men often communicate for control and results while women tend to prioritize accuracy and being understood, and offers practical tools to bridge that gap. Through conversation moderated by Rachel Blumberg, immediate past Co-Chair of the Women’s Leadership Network Steering Committee, this webinar will equip participants with practical tools and confidence to communicate effectively with powerful men in professional settings while staying grounded in their expertise and values. Attendees will learn to recognize common power dynamics, navigate challenging interactions, and respond skillfully when interrupted, dismissed, or spoken over. Through real-world examples and storytelling, participants will gain strategies to adapt their communication style to drive outcomes, assert their voice with clarity, and reinforce their value to their organizations.

Whether you are a senior leader, emerging leader, manager, or supervisor, this session will equip you with fresh insights and practical tools to foster sustainable and meaningful leadership growth within your organization. This session goes beyond theory, offering concrete tools and approaches you can immediately apply in meetings, negotiations, and high-stakes conversations.
