The pandemic has created a revolution in how we communicate with our teams, peers, colleagues and customers. Our skill set is no longer refined to how we present ourselves in person but also the virtual world too.

Glossophobia, (the fear of public speaking), is incredibly common and can inhibit our chances of career progression by up to 15%. However this isn’t just restricted to public speaking, but it extends to the confidence employees have across all levels to raise their hands, put forward their ideas and articulate their views.

Building your teams presentation and communication creates an environment where confidence breeds success.

Our MD Nick Gold , author of ‘ Speaking With Confidence ’, published by Penguin Business Experts, will host a fireside Q&A with 4 speakers discussing their story and why it’s vital businesses invest into their teams communications skills for this new normal.

Register  and join us for our next virtual masterclass on Thursday 18th February at 3PM.

Nigel Risner

Nigel Risner draws on his 'animal theory' to explain how different personality types have their own style of communication. Nigel uses a lion, elephant, monkey and dolphin to demonstrate how teams can benefit from the interplay of its different members. Nigel, who was one of the youngest CEO's in the City of London where he ran a successful finance company, has also been working with organisations to boost their interaction with teams while we work remotely. We're delighted Nigel's joining us for our next virtual event.
