    Ninety minute small-group learning and networking events      

Presence and Impact for Women Leaders

Date: Tuesday June 09, 2020 Time: 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm (BST) Price: Free

How to influence with impact without selling out

Our executive presence makes us powerful, persuasive and effective as leaders. The reality is we’re making an impression all the time.  It is not about being a fake, but rather developing your individual strengths to create the credible impact you want.

THIS IS THE EVENT FOR YOU IF YOU WANT TO:

  • Understand what executive presence is and why it’s important
  • Know what you are signalling now
  • Learn how to be intentional about how you ‘show up’
  • Understand how to master the moment
  • Develop your strategies for making the impact you want

This is a chance for great learning and great networking – I hope to see you there! Contact me for more info at penny@pennydevalk.com

How Does it Work?

What happens next is you will be sent an email confirming your SEAT at the session as well as a Zoom invite for your diary and your VAT receipt. The workshops are held over Zoom which is secure and free to use and only needs one click to join. A week beforehand you will be sent a reminder and some pre-reading or a YouTube watch to prime the topic and your learning, this won’t be more than a 15-minute time commitment.

On the day of the workshop you click on the link a few minutes before the alloted time, you will have your video on so everyone will be able to see one another in thumbnail. There will be no more than ten. We will do introductions and I will be presenting material and facilitating breakouts and discussion with the group. You get sent slides afterwards.

These sessions are not recorded and everyone agrees to complete confidentiality before we begin.

This is designed to be a safe place for women leaders to learn but you only need to share what you want to. They are motivating, supportive, practical, insightful and fun!
