How to Own What You Bring Into the Room

What if confidence in a job interview wasn’t about having the perfect answer, the perfect résumé, or being the most qualified person in the room?

In this highly interactive session, speaker and facilitator Stefano Iaboni explores how humor, self-awareness, storytelling, and a little playful exaggeration can help you communicate with greater confidence and make a memorable impression.

Drawing from his 20+ years as an international performer, Stefano will share stories from auditions where being different, imperfect, or even completely unprepared became an advantage—not because he tried to be someone else, but because he learned to recognize and amplify what he already brought into the room.

Participants will discover how to:

  • Identify the qualities and strengths that make them memorable
  • Use appropriate humor and self-awareness without undermining their credibility
  • Reframe perceived weaknesses and differences as part of their story
  • Communicate their strengths in a more natural, engaging way
  • Handle unexpected interview moments with greater confidence
  • Stop comparing themselves to other candidates and focus on the value they uniquely bring

And this won't be an hour of sitting and listening. Through playful exercises, interview scenarios, and experiential activities, participants will have the opportunity to practice these ideas in the room.

Because confidence isn't about being the best at everything.

It's knowing what you bring into the room—and having the courage to use it.

Come ready to participate, laugh, experiment, and discover how much you already have to work with.
