Confidence in Communications - How to Grow your Own gravitas

Details

Summary:

Many women in the communications industry struggle with issues of presence and gravitas. They feel undermined and judged by clients and (senior) colleagues. They struggle to get their point across in meetings and fail to do themselves justice on conference calls, in presentations and pitches. In essence, they are missing opportunities to contribute, to grow, to impress. And all the while, confidence and credibility are being eroded at an important phase in their career.

The key to solving these common problems lies in establishing robust communication habits. By addressing both your mind set and your skill set, you will be better able to deal with challenging situations. You will be more in control and therefore more confident. Crucially, you will discover that confidence is not a mystical force field or an inherent quality but something which can be created and developed.
