Here are two undeniable facts:
- People communicating and executing great ideas are what propel our businesses and organisations forward.
- People will pay more attention and give more credence to those who project confidence – regardless of how good their ideas actually are.
Far too many promising careers stall and great ideas fail to connect because of unconfident speaking. Yet, the antithesis is even worse. Far too many bad ideas get adopted purely because of our bias toward charisma. The science is very clear: too often we mistake confidence for competence.
Please join us for our What In-House Lawyers Need (WIN) event From Business Lawyers to Business Leaders, where founder of The Pickering Group, Russell Pickering, will share tips and tactics to help you speak with conviction, sell your ideas and manage anxiety – all while keeping your sense of authenticity and avoiding the perceived ‘ick-factor’ of persuasive speaking.
If you believe your ideas are worthy – then it is your responsibility to speak up. Now, more than ever, you have a duty to those ideas – to your business – and indeed the world – to ensure your ideas are heard.
This event is CPD qualified and will be live streamed from an in person event in Auckland. If you would like to register for the live stream please RSVP below. If you would like to attend the event in Auckland please click here.
Start and end time: 4:30 - 5:30pm NZT
