Are you ready for Q1 2027?

Q4 and Q1 are defining seasons in the events industry. Planning conversations accelerate. Budgets tighten. Priorities compete for your attention. You are asked not only to deliver results, but also to advocate for priorities, align stakeholders, and communicate your value compellingly. In this high-energy, interactive session, Pegine Echevarria—the first Latina inducted into the Motivational Speakers Hall of Fame—equips you with practical tools to communicate measurable impact, strengthen your stakeholder influence, and navigate planning, prioritization, and budget conversations with confidence.

Grounded in Pegine’s V.A.L.U.E.™ framework—Visibility, Attitude, Leverage, Use of Resources, and Evolve—this engaging experience features peer discussion, improvisational moments, and real-world scenarios.

By the session’s end, you will have:

● Strategies to communicate priorities, ROI, and strategic value during Q4/Q1 planning conversations

● Practical tools to strengthen stakeholder alignment, prioritization, and professional influence

● Specific language for high-stakes budget and leadership conversations

Learning Objectives:

#1: Apply a repeatable approach to high-pressure conversations.

#2: Use influence techniques to align expectations and speed decisions.

#3: Communicate clearly to reduce friction and rework.

#4: Prevent escalation while maintaining productive relationships.
