Initiative: National Leadership Confidence Tour
Challenge:
GM identified a persistent issue: talented women in STEM, manufacturing, and leadership roles felt invisible, overlooked, and underutilized—despite their brilliance. Leadership wanted these women to communicate their value and claim their space at the table.
Solution:
Pegine designed and led a year-long national tour using her signature “Communicate Your V.A.L.U.E.™” and “Play Big in Your World™” programs. She delivered high-energy keynotes, interactive coaching experiences, and empowering take-home tools that helped women across GM amplify their confidence, elevate their communication, and embrace their genius. The impact was immediate—and lasting.
Results:
- Increased promotions and leadership visibility among women participants
- Enhanced collaboration and communication across teams
- Pegine was re-engaged for three consecutive years due to the program’s success
