Women’s voices, perspectives, and leadership are essential drivers of organisational success. Yet many women find it challenging to assert themselves with confidence and authority at work, meaning their full potential and insight can go under-recognised or unheard.
Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, and the influential work of Viv Groskop - author of How to Own the Room: Women and the Art of Brilliant Speaking - this session is designed to help you to show up with confidence and authority, maximising the value of every interaction.
The session will explore how to:
- Recognise the pivotal role of powerful conversations in advancing your professional success and identify the strategic dialogues that will support your ambitions and business outcomes.
- Strengthen your ability to influence before the conversation begins by clearly defining your purpose and understanding the needs, priorities, and motivations of key audiences.
- Leverage brain-friendly communication techniques rooted in neuroscience to enhance your influence
- Apply mindset and delivery techniques that enable you to communicate with presence and authority, helping you speak up confidently, manage challenging dynamics, and amplify your impact in any setting.
Regardless of your professional experience, the insights and tools from this session are relevant and applicable across every context.
