2026 Readiness Day 4 - High Stakes Communications


Listen Later

High-stakes moments define careers.


In Day 4 of the 12 Days of Readiness series, Stephanie Bickel shows you how to communicate with clarity and authority when the spotlight is brightest—on stage, on panels, in media interviews, and in recorded settings where your message lives far beyond the room.


In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why larger audiences become easier when you center the message—not yourself

  • How to design content that shines in high-visibility environments

  • A simple sequence for crafting strong executive messages

  • How data strengthens credibility and logical flow

  • What leaders must prepare for when facing media-style questions


This is your blueprint for showing up clear, composed, and compelling when it matters most.
