Put Leadership Into Practice
If your team is ready to stop talking about leadership and start doing it, these workshops are for you.
Carol Ann Lloyd blends timeless principles with real-time application to help teams connect, communicate, and lead more effectively—right away.
These aren’t lectures.
They’re interactive, highly practical sessions designed for people who are ready to show up differently.
Using the power of story, conversation, and Shakespeare’s unforgettable characters, Carol Ann guides teams to uncover how they lead—and how they can lead better.
Each session includes discussion, reflection, and hands-on activities participants can immediately apply at work.
→ Ideal for: corporate teams, internal leadership cohorts, women’s groups, or follow-up programming after a keynote
You can’t lead if you don’t know what matters most.
This session challenges participants to define their personal and team priorities, then make sure their actions reflect those values. Carol Ann shows how the smallest signals—who is included in meetings, when others join conversations, how hard decisions are made—send big messages.
Participants will:
- Identify personal and professional priorities
- Learn how to communicate those priorities clearly and consistently
- Build awareness of how their actions align—or conflict—with what matters most
Workshop #1:
This Above All
Setting and Communicating Priorities
Inspired by: Polonius in Hamlet
Workshop #2:
Brevity is the Soul of Leadership
Communicate Clearly. Be Understood the First Time.
Inspired by: Polonius again (ironically)
Clarity builds trust. Rambling kills it.
In this lively workshop, Carol Ann helps leaders ditch over-explaining, get to the point, and communicate decisions with confidence. Drawing from Shakespeare’s famously long-winded characters, she shows what happens when you lose your audience—and how to make sure that doesn’t happen.
Participants will:
- Practice delivering concise, confident messages
- Learn strategies for giving clear direction, especially under pressure
- Recognize when too many words are getting in the way
Marc Antony didn’t demand attention—he earned it.
This session explores how leaders can capture attention and build influence without overpowering the room. It’s about understanding your audience, reading the moment, and speaking with purpose. When done well, it’s not manipulation. It’s leadership.
Participants will:
- Learn to open conversations in ways that build connection and respect
- Practice influencing a group without shutting people down
- Explore how to be heard—even when you’re saying something unpopular
Workshop #3:
Friends, Romans, Countrymen
Leading with Attention and Influence
Inspired by: Marc Antony in Julius Caesar
