Programme

In this brand-new session format, an experienced executive leadership coach will give tips and tricks to help women gain confidence to lead with assurance, yet stay true to themselves. The highly interactive workshop will focus on empowering female IRs to exude confidence, command attention and captivate an audience when sharing ideas, speaking in meetings or presenting.

This workshop is designed for mid-career female IRs at consultant level who would like to take a fresh look at how they practice and what may be holding them back. The number of participants in this 2.5 hour workshop will be kept small to allow the group to explore these factors in depth. This will also allow the coach to design the session around participants’ needs.

Applications have been assessed and successful candidates were informed in May.

Participants will also be asked to complete a short piece of reflection before the session to bring with them to the workshop.

Workshop highlights

  • Crafting your authentic story
    We will explore the question ‘What is the story I tell about who I am?’. Participants will learn how shaping a personal narrative can boost confidence, gaining insights into constructing a compelling self-story that bolsters self-assurance and charisma.
  • The neuroscience of body language
    We will look at how the latest research in neuroscience can help strategic thinking even in high-pressure situations. Participants will explore the connection between body language, posture and mindset, and delve into techniques that enable them to command the room, convey authority and enhance their ability to connect with the audience.
  • Harnessing the power of perfect breathing
    Workshop participants will see how breathing techniques can help control nerves, maintain focus, and keep you centred, calm and present during high-stake presentations.
  • Presenting with passion
    Participant will be asked to speak for two minutes about a topic they are passionate about. This might be making the perfect pasta sauce, rock climbing, travel, running or bird-watching!
