Join WNA members and friends for an evening of deconstructing the myths of public speaking with Simone de Haas.

We are constantly being told that public speaking is the way to go if we want to build our business. However the ways in which we ‘publicly speak’ has changed significantly over the years.

With the arrival of AI, ChatGPT, 30 second video reels for example, we are being bombarded with messages that are showcasing businesses from an artificial rather than authentic viewpoint.

In this presentation, Simone de Haas will deconstruct the myths of public speaking and provide strategies and tips to help you connect and engage through sharing your authentic voice. As Simone says “It’s not about getting through your speech – it’s about getting through to your audience”.
