KEYNOTES
WOW. AMAZE. MOVE: Own Your Voice as a Leader
What you say and how you say it has one of the greatest impacts on your success as a leader. Yet, up until now, we’ve been heads-down, hard-working. We’ve never been taught, nor had to develop, the ability to inspire and motivate others - to embrace change, build thriving cultures, gain buy-in from stakeholders, or woo audiences from industry stages. My voice? What voice? We default to marketing and comms scripts which, in our modern world, fall flatter than ever before. They feel inauthentic and lack engagement. This session teaches leaders – and marketing and communications professionals - how to ditch the script and develop a more authentic voice of leadership. And enable leaders to truly step into their position of influence – and with confidence and meaningful impact.
- Learn how to master authenticity while not undermining your authority; and balance vulnerability with credibility.
- Discover ways to speak that truly move others to action – on bold change, vision, and strategy.
- Know your voice and how to infuse it in all that you do, to be a sought-after leader and inspiring thought leader.
SPEAK WITH CONFIDENCE: And Ignite Your Influence
We've all been there - a simple introduction, a pitch, a presentation, a conversation with a potential client or a meeting. It’s a chance to showcase our credibility, yet, we hesitate. We stay modest and let someone else speak first. Or we speak, but we undermine our expertise with how we say it. Simple body language, a “rambling” speech or dry business jargon can all derail an otherwise amazing idea or presentation.
- Know how to project confidence whether speaking to one or one thousand, even when you don’t feel confident.
- Learn how to avoid the top 3 pitfalls that undermine your credibility when speaking or presenting.
- Discover the key factors of an unforgettable presence.
- Master the top ways to truly connect with your audience and have your voice, value or vision heard.
NAIL YOUR NARRATIVE: The Incredible Power of Story - to Drive Change, Culture & Vision
Stories aren't just tales we tell to entertain. They’re frameworks that shape the path we take and the decisions we make. They can help you secure that promotion, woo stakeholders, drive change, and gain buy-in from clients – all faster and more effectively. But it all starts, first and foremost, with the stories we’re telling ourselves. This session offers a blend of bold thinking, unexpected brain science, and actionable tools to push leaders to reimagine both their personal and professional narratives and to help elevate their influence in all that they do.
- Gain strategies for reframing personal narratives to foster resilience and confidence as a leader.
- Learn frameworks to articulate your vision more powerfully, motivate teams and gain greater buy-in from stakeholders.
- Discover storytelling as a key strategic tool in leadership, accelerate trust and influence.
