The Confident Leader Retreat

For Women Who Mean Business

The Challenge

For many leaders, the issue of presence and influence becomes an inescapable challenge. The key thing is to get onto it, face that challenge head on and work on the key skills for change that are practical, achievable, and highly realistic. The recipe for success is highly individual.

The Retreat

In this 3-day and 2-night retreat, Dr Mahler offers theory and interaction, based around winning the hearts and minds of those around you with the following outcomes:

· Development of a diagnosis: Analysis of individual body, mind and voice patterns to instigate a program for ongoing long-term presence and influence improvement
· Understanding of the psychology of performance and audience engagement
· Unravelling the psychology of difficult situations
· Building the skills of body and voice that underpin interpersonal engagement
· Discovering processes for handling various leadership opportunities including: presentation, media, emotional face-to-face engagements
· Obtaining ‘Practice’ feedback

This retreat provides an outstanding executive development opportunity tailored for an intimate group who wish to experience transformational growth. Numbers are strictly limited to allow for individual attention.
