Networking Event & Guest Talk on Speak to Sell

We are delighted to welcome NLCCE Member, Desi Christou, as our guest speaker at our Wednesday 18th June networking event. Desi, an ex-TV Producer/Director, certified NLP Trainer and Mindset Coach, will be sharing top tips on ways to speak and present effectively - to win more business.

Are you:

• Struggling to attract clients through your pitches or presentations?
• Feeling nervous about public speaking or worry about sounding too ‘salesy’?
• Unsure how to structure and monetise your talks?

Every time you network, pitch, speak on a podcast, record a video, or present your services - you're representing your business. The way you communicate - your body language, voice, and presence - determines whether you win new clients or lose them.

In this dynamic session, NLCCE Member, Desi Christou will show you how to:

✅ Structure and deliver engaging presentations that sell
✅ Avoid common mistakes that cost you business
✅ Develop gravitas through voice and body language
✅ Overcome public speaking nerves and show up with confidence
