About the talk
This talk is for Senior Leaders, Executives and Business Professionals who want to build relationships and communicate in a meaningful and authentic way whilst maintaining professional integrity.
You’ll discover the skills you need to be comfortable and present well on camera, which could potentially impact the way you approach all communication.
We will cover:
Understanding human connection and ‘flow’
The Hero’s Journey — an introduction to storytelling
What makes a meaningful message and how to harness human connection
How to get comfortable with being uncomfortable (getting comfortable in front of the camera)
Additional Information:
There was a time when those in positions of power, leadership, and influence would be expected to present themselves as polished, word-perfect and immaculate. They would demonstrate strength, authority and executive presence by maintaining a facade of composure with only scripted displays of emotion if any at all.
Those days are well and truly over.
In this new digital age and climate of transparency, where people share more about themselves with the world than ever before and where ‘share your story’ has become a cultural mantra, there is a growing insistence that authenticity be commonplace not only online and socially, but professionally. People crave human connection and intuitively know when they’re communicating with a crafted or guarded persona. Trust and respect are no longer demanded, but earned by blending openness, empathy and human connection with leadership and inspiration.
Human connection fosters trust and goodwill and has a rejuvenating quality, which positively impacts our wellbeing and the meaning of our experience. Once established this invisible connection allows us to penetrate the ‘would be’ barriers of others and acts as a conduit for information exchange. It focuses our attention on that which we share; essentially our humanness. This process dissolves our perceived divisions and illusions of separateness as well as opening the way for diversity to bask in a much more positive light.
