Don’t Just Speak. Lead.

We live in a world that is more globally connected than ever before, with easier access to information than any other point in history. And yet, in the moments that matter, in times of uncertainty, change or crisis, people don’t just look for more information, content or instruction, they look to a leader.

Capture & Communicate Your Thoughts.

Research suggests that 74% of people experience some type of speech anxiety or fear of public speaking. If you thought it was just you, then you can relax knowing you’re not alone.

This keynote is for people at every stage of the journey. Whether it’s a toast at an event, a board meeting, a town hall presentation or just getting your team on board with an idea at a stand up, a lack of confidence or skills in this area can significantly impact your personal and/or professional potential.

Lead with Stories.

Research by Neuroscientist Paul Zak has found that “character-driven stories with emotional content result in a better understanding of the key points a speaker wishes to make and enable better recall of these points weeks later”. If you have ever had the privilege of speaking to a room full of people, you will understand the power of effective storytelling. But knowing what story to tell, and when, is a critical skill that every leader must be able to master. Great storytelling goes much deeper than getting your message across, it’s a tool to help people connect.

Messaging that Sticks.

Communication without a strong and clear message is like a car without a steering wheel, you go where momentum takes you? But great leaders and teams don’t just go with momentum, they create it.  Do you have a great product or idea but struggle to communicate its value? Are you the best kept secret, but need the world to know? Are you saying the same thing over and over but not getting traction? Do you have an idea but struggle to share it succinctly? The ability to create and deliver effective messaging is arguably one of the most important communication skills a leader can possess. To deliver impactful and engaging content that consistently reinforces a clear intent is a tension every leader must manage.
