There’s an encyclopedia nobody has ever written.

It’s about you.

Two weeks from today I’ll be giving the Day 2 keynote at the 2026 Banking on Women Conference in Plainfield, Indiana. 500 women in one room.

Our session is The Passion Piece: Today We Create an Encyclopedia of You.

Here’s all I’ll say about it.

You’ll leave with something written in your own hand that didn’t exist that morning. 10 to 20 sentences. Yours and only yours.

It’s the springboard for every story you tell after that -- to a client, to a board, to a room.

And it’s one of the top ranked exercises we do here at On Point.

I’m not going to explain how it works. That part happens in the room. 😊

Every woman there also receives a complimentary copy of Red Light Green Light. 📚

Bankers, see you November 5. Bring a pen. Link to sign up is in the comments.

What makes you uniquely YOU at work?

That’s the question 500 women will answer at the Indiana Bankers Association’s Banking on Women Conference on November 5, through an exercise called the Passion Piece.

Think of it as an encyclopedia of you. Through guided time together, each woman will write 10 to 20 sentences that pull out her own words, feelings, phrases, stories, and scenes.

It’s personal, and it’s hers alone. That’s what makes it such a strong foundation for every story she tells from here on.

See you there! Link in the comments.

500 women. One room. One exercise that changes how they tell their story.

At the Indiana Bankers Association’s Banking on Women Conference on November 5, attendees will write their Passion Piece, one of the most popular exercises at On Point Communications.

In 10 to 20 sentences, each woman will capture the words, feelings, phrases, stories, and scenes that make her uniquely herself at work. That piece becomes the springboard for every story she tells customers, investors, and audiences.

See you there! Link in the comments.

You've made it through another year of messaging. Can you believe we’re near the end? How has your messaging been, have you grown, atrophied, not thought about it?

That's the question we answer at our annual MRI event.
We do this each November, the month of gratitude in the U.S.
It's my way of saying thanks. "Thank you for being part of our On Point orbit."

The hour is 100% about you and 100% for you.

Here's why it's valuable, and here's what we do. 👇🏼

🌟In August, I polled an executive team we support. The question was: "How many calls are in your calendar this week?" The highest number I received was 66 calls in 1 week!

Let's do some quick math and assume 50 weeks of work / year.

--Even if this leader averages 45 calls / wk, that's 2250 calls / yr.
--If you average 25 calls / wk, that's 1250 calls / yr.
--If 60 calls is your actual average, you're at 3000 meetings with thousands of humans.

📍This is why we pause and ask:

How is all that messaging actually going?
Are you getting what you want?
Do people understand the vision you see?
Do the people you hope will notice your growth, notice it?

You’ve pitched the pitch, presented to upstream leaders, had customer conversations.

You’ve had impromptu "message moments" when your boss needs an update "right now." You've been on panels, spoken at conferences and at booths.

You've been on hundreds or thousands of virtual calls, all over the world.

Let's unpack it. In this hour, I'm your guide, 👋🏼 Cindy Dietz Skalicky.

It's not a training, it's an hour with quiet time built in so you can breathe, reflect, and write.

One leader said as he left this session: “Cindy, no one’s ever asked me these questions before. This was such a valuable hour; I would never set aside time to do this. Thank you.”

500 women will be gathered in one room on November 5, and I cannot wait to meet them all. It's coming up!

We'll explore one of the top ranked exercises we do here -- The Passion Piece.

It's like writing an encyclopedia of YOU.

It's a written piece you write, 10 to 20 sentences that will isolated and extracted the:

Words
Feelings
Phrases
Stories
Scenes

That make you uniquely "you" at work.

WHY do we do this? This is the springboard to storytelling.

The passion piece puts jet fuel into every future story you tell – – to customers, investors, audiences.

It's one of the most critical building blocks of story -- because it's personal.

It's yours, and only yours.
----

Ali Birge, I am thrilled you'll be there as a success story of this exercise.
Laurie Rees, thank you for inviting me to your annual "Banking On Women" Conference, and to Indiana Bankers Association for putting on what will be a truly fantastic event!

Most leaders prepare a presentation by asking one question: What do I need to tell my audience?

There's a more useful question to start with. What does my audience need to hear from me in order to be moved?

On the Limitless Leadership Lounge, hosts Jim and Jon talked with Cindy about how leaders move stakeholders from the red light of risk to the green light of go.

📍 Picture yourself in the last row of the auditorium, watching yourself present.
📍 Keep business stories short and chiseled, about five or six sentences.
📍 Hold your slides to 25 words or fewer so your audience keeps listening.

Which question do you start with when you prepare?
