This month's speakers;

Deborah Ogden (https://www.linkedin.com/in/deborahjogden/)

Stand Out & Get Visible in this Blended World.

The business landscape has changed. COVID has accelerated the advance of tech in the working world and many of us find ourselves splitting our working week between home and the office.

So how do we stay visible in this hybrid set-up? In an increasingly digital world, it’s the ‘human skills’ of powerful communication and engagement that allow you to stand out from the crowd and the competition.

Most of us recognise we need to be visible, yet resist, feeling uncomfortable stepping up, worrying what other people will think, procrastinating and not knowing what to share.

Deborah will share tools and techniques to help you develop a powerful personal brand, and inspire you to step up and show up with true confidence.

Lucille Moore (https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucille-moore-photographer/ )
