Public Speaking: From Dread to Love, An Honest Conversation

23/04/2025 - From 19h30 to 21h - Members Only
Registration mandatory


A fireside chat brought to you by Jessica Ramos, Regulatory, Payments and FinTech Executive and member of the board of The Nine, and Elizabeth Van Den Bergh, Speaker and Leadership Coach on a mission to bring more female leaders on stage.

 

To be able to express your ideas in a clear and convincing matter is one of the most important career skills.

 

When Jessica Ramos shared her public speaking journey in a post on LinkedIn, countless people really resonated with it and found it inspiring. She somehow managed to go from dreading it to loving it and people wondered how. So the idea originated to have a fireside chat-style event, to discuss her journey and allow the audience to be inspired and hopefully empowered. Elizabeth worked with Jessica on becoming a better speaker and will join the conversation with practical and concrete tips about how you can evolve as a speaker to get comfortable and even get to enjoy it too.

 

Expect an honest and valuable conversation with the opportunity for you to ask questions.
