How you communicate often shapes how you are perceived.
Whether you're presenting in the boardroom, speaking in meetings, leading a team or building relationships with clients, executive presence can influence how your ideas are received and remembered.
Join the Asian Communications Network for an interactive evening exploring how to communicate with greater confidence, authenticity and impact.
The evening will begin with a short keynote from Lornette Harley, senior communications leader, Soho Theatre Board member and member of the UK Black Comms Network. Drawing on her own leadership journey, Lornette will share a personal perspective on finding her voice, speaking up in unfamiliar rooms and contributing with confidence at board level.
She will be followed by an engaging masterclass from Sam Malone, Executive Presence Coach and Voice Lecturer at RADA.
Working with senior executives, lawyers, entrepreneurs, performers and public figures, Sam helps people develop the voice and presence needed to lead, inspire and be trusted. His clients learn how to communicate with authority without sacrificing authenticity, equipping them to perform at their best in high-pressure situations, from boardroom presentations and keynote speeches to media interviews and leadership conversations.
Drawing on his experience at RADA and the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, Sam's session will combine practical techniques with real-world insight to help attendees:
Whether you're an emerging communications professional or an experienced leader looking to strengthen your presence, this promises to be an engaging and highly practical evening.
