Unleash Your Voice

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

Running Start, an organisation that advises young women considering a run for political office has identified the fear of speaking publicly as the number one thing that stops women from getting involved in electoral politics. The corporate world is exactly the same. Fear, and lack of self assurance are traps that await women in every field. 

Unleash brings you four important skills as a leader and speaker, your presence, what you say, your influence and impact it creates. Brought to you by four of the women behind the book 'Unleash your voice, powerful public speaking for every woman', Lavinia Thanapathy, Joanne Flinn, Karen Leong and Sian Brown bring you the opportunity to dive into and refine your ability to connect, inspire and yes, even make significant impact in your business world.

WHAT WILL THE SPEAKERS BE COVERING

Lavinia will lead the session of Presence.

Discover three highly practical ways to lift your presence as a speaker and the one thing you really don't want to do (but might be accidentally).

Joanne will lead the session on Business.

Also known as finding 'Mr Right', this is about navigating the logical journey and the emotional journey to get the right partners at the right pace.

Sian will lead the session on Impact.

The role of business leadership is increasingly about our impact and what we stand for. Dive into the techniques of navigating this exiting journey.

Karen will lead the session on Influence.

She'll help you see specific situations in the corporate world where women miss the opportunity to show up and influence and give you natural concrete steps to thrive.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

When women show up, unleash their voices, and share their wisdom, we make a better world. It's more diverse and inclusive and better decisions are made. As a woman, your voice is powerful and it is time to unleash it.

Expressing your ideas accelerates your career. Speaking onstage spreads your reach and impact.

This event appeals to both men and women who may simply want to speak more effectively in a meeting or with more impact at a business conference. You may wish to be a powerful professional speaker or even speak at TED. However high you aim, this session is for you. 

This session is brought together by BritCham's Women in Business and Diversity & Inclusion Committees.

With special thanks to Barclays​, our Diversity & Inclusion Partner, our hosts, Diageo​, who will be providing a small array of their signature drinks and Hotel G​, our catering partner, providing cold cuts & cheeses for the evening.
