Workshop

Meeting magic: Convincing contributions that stick in the mind.

The important meeting begins and you are fully prepared. But as soon as all eyes are on you, nervousness takes over. What just sounded powerful loses its impact. The audience listens, but the wow effect? It doesn't happen. Your mind races, your body reacts: clammy hands, shaky voice, a sinking feeling in your stomach. In the end, you leave the meeting disappointed and think: "That should have gone better." Our expert Natali D'Abundo knows the problem from her coaching practice, she has already helped many people to find their personal performance power and will give you valuable tips and tricks in this workshop on how you too can improve your performance and experience personal aha moments.
