Inclusive Leadership Specialist Enhancing Leadership Effectiveness 📖Irish Times & International Bestselling Author of Inclusive Leadership Navigating Organisational Complexity | 🔋PhD Candidate
Yesterday, I had the absolute privilege to speak at #NWEDDublin for Local Enterprise Offices due to a very kind invitation from Peter Connolly & Sandra Hickey. I want to share a few fabulous people I met and some lessons learned. Karen Devine kept the whole show on the road and was deeply supportive when a personal situation impacted my ability to attend prep meetings. I will keep Karen & her team in mind when I know people need events planned because the vibe was just fabulous! There was a segment of "Leading Lights" from across Dublin LEO's and they were truly fabulous, down-to-earth, honest and inspirational. If anyone can go to any event they are at, go! Aine Kennedy Denise Cullen GISELLE MAKINDE @Laura McCarthy Elaine Crowley hosted and, as always, was entertaining and on point. (Her story of being the first woman in Irish media to produce and host her show is epic!) I would love to hear more about this! Ellen Kavanagh from WaxPerts spoke about her 15 years in business, from an idea to selling in international markets. She had an unwavering belief in what she was doing, rather than herself. (This is something I think could help a lot of us) I got to sit & chat with Cathriona Hallahan, who oozes authenticity; her career story was candid and insightful, and her savvy shone through. Even though all this was impressive, she was lovely to chat with & I just got a strong sense that she's "good people" There were several speakers from the audience who shared their work and were fab, but I still need to do a good Google search to find them and connect - as well as buy their products! Lessons learned 💡 Don't order earrings 2 days before the event, delivery doesn't always come through. 💡 Don't wear big earrings when mic'd up - even if sound producers say it will be fine. 💡 This leads to lesson 3, trust myself when I know something from experience, even if the expert in the room says something differently. 💡 It's okay to talk about myself - being trained in coaching psychology and facilitation, I try only to share when my sharing opens something, removes shame or supports the relationship. However, I started with a personal story & was pleasantly surprised by how well people responded to it. 💡 I added a personal story to the keynote as what I was sharing would be educational/thought-provoking (which is my comfort zone). They weren't there for a lecture! So I had to create a connection to me, the material & me to them. My favourite thing is that I have had a lot of DM's here, on IG & via email from attendees, which means that while I couldn't talk to everyone 1on1 in person, I have had the opportunity to make new connections & renew others! 💡 Last lesson we still have an issue in Ireland with integrating people from different countries into our workforce. (I will be doing some research on this shortly) What a fab day to connect with some of Dublin's most fabulous women in business!

New on the blog: tips for capturing your guests' hearts before the event.

Helping You Amplify & Expand Your Brand so that it attracts quality clients | The Visual Brand Tactician | Commercial Headshot Specialist | Personal Brand and Content Creation Mastery
They took it to a different level... Have you ever been to a conference? What was it like? Was it one of the ones, where people talk at you and leaves you with nothing to take home? How about the one that's a pitch fest of their products and services or how great the people speaking lives are? What did you think of those type of events? Did they make you want to come back? Most of the time the answer is no! But then there are people who think differently and change the game. Break the traditional rules. Recently Tamra Andress's Founder's Con event was one done in excellence! What was so different you ask? Well it's been very rare, like on 3 fingers rare where I've seen speakers go from the stage, to the audience, to legit serving real business owners who had questions about the becoming more successful in business. Take a minute and think about this type of conference, what words come to mind for you? For me it was : - Intentional legit care and help - Intimatcy - Being seen and heard by someone who maybe more successful than me. The audience legit had take aways, that they could implement within their own businesses for success. Quote of the day - “If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together”.

Keynote event speakers, talent and entertainment. 🎤 Every component of your event has a job to do, to help the occasion inspire, motivate and live long in the memory of your delegates. So in addition to your own ‘home grown’ content, make use of over three decades of experience of matching incredible talent to the right event. Perhaps you need a business guru or a titan of industry. Or the personal account of someone who has beaten all odds to triumph over adversity. Maybe you want to amaze people with the sleight hand of a magician over a pre-dinner drinks, and later blow the roof off with a multi-platinum selling band. Or how about a comedian who will have your audience aching with laughter. Fire eaters, jugglers, pyrotechnics - even a bespoke concept never performed before. Just say the word and we’re ready to assist. We look forward to working with you! Conference Contacts +44 (0) 7576 830440 +44 (0) 1628 583505 ollie@conferencecontacts.co.uk https://lnkd.in/dMkZEXGk
