Decoding Dialogue

Decoding Dialogue is a WiCyS learning series designed to help members communicate with greater confidence, clarity, and connection in professional settings. Created in partnership with Fearless Communicators, the program focuses on practical, human-centered communication skills that support visibility, leadership, and authentic connection at every career stage.

Through interactive, live workshops, participants learn how to navigate networking spaces with ease, access presence under pressure, and translate complex ideas into messages that resonate. Each session is tailored to a specific career stage and emphasizes real-world application, reflection, and practice. Decoding Dialogue equips members with tools they can immediately use at conferences, in meetings, and across their careers to show up with intention and impact.
