What Alumni have said

There are no passengers in this program. Everyone gets to participate, and you get back as much as you give. I now appreciate the fact that HOW a message is communicated can significantly influence the outcome of a discussion.”

Yvonne How, Client Service & Relationship Executive, State Street Corporation

What Alumni have said

When one receives feedback that you have to adapt your style to relate better to stakeholders, it isn’t easy if you’ve spent 10-20 years operating in a certain style. However, no one actually tells you how to make this change. To my amazement, I found after attending this workshop series that Stephanie’s practical tips worked, no matter the situation. I attended her workshops several years ago. I continue to apply them to this day. I highly recommend it for men & women who want to grow their influence.”

Karina Kwan, NED, Former CFO Of Citi Australia & New Zealand

What Alumni have said

Stephanie is an outstanding presenter, her Voice of Leadership programme was exceptional. I often apply the skills we learned from Stephanie. This course is the best professional learning I have experienced.”

Gabrielle Munzer, Senior Business Development Manager, Challenger Investment Partners

What Alumni have said

Stephanie teases out complex threads of presentation skills, body language and selfawareness practices and packages them into easy to use tools. I left the program better equipped to modify the way I speak and present myself and noticed an immediate improvement in how I communicate in all contexts”

Emma Seymour, Financial Controller, JobAdder

 

A word about this new program delivery

Over these past few months Zoom meetings have moved front and centre as a medium for training. I have been doing many of these and they bring to training a whole new dynamic. There is something very good about this new medium. There is more interaction, it’s more relaxed and in many ways more intimate. We are in our own comfortable worlds, and this changes the energy of these presentations in unique and positive ways. I very much look forward to presenting this work to WiBF members in this new format. I look forward to your insights and hearing your stories as the program unfolds.”
