Owning the Room

About the Event

As a creative leader, it is paramount to not only have a strong consistent creative vision but to be able to communicate it effectively in every room you enter.

To truly lead, especially within in-house teams at major brands, you need to be able to communicate that vision clearly and powerfully to people who don’t live and breathe creativity.

Owning the Room is a practical and energising session designed to help creative leaders make their ideas heard and understood at every level.

With the help of communication coach, Dasha Dollar-Smirnova, the session takes a holistic approach to presence, looking not just at what you say, but how you say it. We will explore and share tips on:

• Voice and body language techniques to project confidence
• Tailoring your communication style to different audiences
• Sharpening your message and leading conversations with clarity and impact.

Who’s the event for?

Wherever you are in your in-house creative leadership journey this event will provide some valuable insights and inspiration on how to hold your own in a room and make your ideas heard and understood at every level.
