Overview
In financial services, communication is currency. How you present your ideas, structure your thoughts, and command a room directly impacts your credibility, influence, and advancement. Women in capital markets face distinct communication dynamics.
- Being heard when you're the only woman in the room
- Establishing authority without overcompensating.
- Delivering with conviction in your authentic voice
This 60-minute workshop focused on building confidence and gravitas when presenting, helping you project authority while maintaining a natural, engaging delivery and how to structure your presentations for maximum impact and efficiency. Renee Conklin, Executive Coach at the Hatwell Group, introduced frameworks for opening with clarity, ensuring a strong logical flow, and using storytelling techniques to engage your audience. These techniques are particularly effective when speaking to senior decision-makers who need clear, concise, and actionable insights. Attendees learnt:
- Delivery with gravitas - Master concise, commanding delivery that claims authority and ensures you're heard
- Structure - Build structures that prevent your ideas from being minimized or absorbed into someone else's narrative
- Authenticity - Speak with conviction in your authentic voice without softening your message
This session was designed to be immediately applicable, with participant interaction and reflection activities that mirror the real challenges participants face in their day-to-day roles.
