**Elevate Your Executive Presence Masterclass** People think executive presence is something you're born with. What if I told you it can very much be learned? And it's not how most people think. It starts from the inside, with clarity of thought. If you do great work, but when someone asks you to talk about it, you stutter, ramble and confuse yourself and others in moments that matter most, then this session is for you. Maybe you know your subject cold, but you still don't sound as credible as you feel. Maybe you've watched someone with a fraction of your knowledge command the room, simply because they knew how to land it. In this interactive masterclass, we'll cover 4 frameworks to completely transform how you speak and write, so you're seen, heard and understood at work. **Remona Moodley has spent a lifetime learning how to be seen.** Growing up feeling invisible and overlooked, she went looking for her voice early, entering her first speaking competition at age 5 and her first beauty pageant at age 6. That pursuit eventually carried her to the Miss World stage in 2012 and the World Championship of Public Speaking stage in 2025. Her professional path ran in parallel. Trained as an electrical engineer, she earned her MBA from UC Berkeley Haas and spent years as a management consultant at McKinsey & Company, advising CEOs on their toughest business challenges. It was there she absorbed the structured thinking and communication frameworks that separate hard workers from influential ones. She later trained as a certified executive coach, helping high achievers find their voice in the moments that matter most. Today, Remona combines what she's learned on stage and in the boardroom to help people communicate with the clarity, confidence, and credibility it takes to be seen and heard.

Women at the Podium: A One-Day Public Speaking Workshop in Sydney

Tue, Sep 22, 2:00 PM

From Mangates Global Professional Learning Network

**Overview** Build confidence, presence, and influence with practical public speaking, storytelling, and communication skills for women leaders. **Ready to secure your spot? 🎯 Register now and complete your payment securely via Stripe Checkout!** [Click Here](https://buy.stripe.com/8x2bJ1aam1YGeG4aeg2oE43) **Program Details** **Duration**: 1 Full Day (8 Hours) **Delivery Mode**: Classroom (In-Person) **Language**: English **Credits**: 8 PDUs / Training Hours **Certification**: Course Completion Certificate **Refreshments**: Lunch, Snacks, and beverages will be provided during the session. **Every Confident Speaker Has a Day One. This Could Be Yours.** For general enquiries or booking your slot, contact us at: [info@mangates.com](info@mangates.com) +61 (0) 2 80155605 **Course Overview:** **The Moment Before the Words Come Out** She'd rehearsed the pitch a dozen times in her head. But the moment the room went quiet and every eye turned to her, the words came out smaller than she meant them to. That moment is familiar to almost every woman who's ever had something important to say. What's less familiar is what happens after, when she learns exactly how to close that gap between what she knows and what the room actually hears. **A Day That Changes the Next Room You Walk Into** Picture this: a woman walks into a leadership meeting, opens with a real example instead of a disclaimer, holds the room's attention through a tough question, and closes with a message that actually moves people to act. That's not a natural gift. That's a set of specific, learnable skills, and it's exactly what this one-day program is built to teach. **How the Day Unfolds** * **Module 1: Communication Psychology** — She learns why her audience reacts the way it does, and how to read the room before she speaks a word. * **Module 2: Persuasive Messaging** — She restructures her message, layering logic, emotion, and credibility until it actually lands. * **Module 3: Storytelling for Influence** — She turns a personal experience into a message the room won't forget. * **Module 4: Voice and Body Language** — Her posture straightens. Her pace slows. Her voice carries differently. * **Module 5: Engagement and Attention** — She notices the room leaning in, not checking their phones. * **Module 6: Q&A and Pressure Situations** — A tough question comes. She doesn't flinch, she has a framework for exactly this. * **Module 7: Authentic Influence** — She stops performing confidence and starts speaking from what she actually believes. * **Module 8: The Master Speaker's Toolkit** — By the end of the day, she has more than a good feeling. She has a system she can use again and again. **What Changes By the End** Attendees leave able to: * Communicate with confidence, clarity, and professional authority * Design and deliver persuasive, authentic presentations * Demonstrate refined presence through voice, body language, and composure * Navigate tough questions and high-pressure moments with strategic calm * Use storytelling and psychology to inspire real action * Walk away with a personal framework for continued growth **Who Finds Themselves Here** * Women professionals ready to be seen and heard * Women entrepreneurs and business owners pitching ideas or services * Women leaders and managers guiding teams through uncertainty * Women returning to the workforce, rebuilding their voice * Women students, community leaders, and aspiring speakers finding theirs for the first time **This Isn't Watched from the Sidelines** Every attendee speaks, practices, and receives real feedback, live, in the room. She doesn't sit back and take notes while someone else models the skill, she's the one standing at the front, adjusting her pace, catching herself mid-sentence, trying it again until it feels right. What's described above isn't hypothetical, it's what happens to almost everyone who walks through the door. **Bring This to Your Organization** Picture an entire team of women walking into their next high-stakes meeting the same way, prepared, composed, and ready to be heard. This program is available as a customized in-house session, on-site or virtual, with group pricing for organizations ready to build that version of their team together. 📧 Contact us today to schedule a customized in-house session: [corporate@mangates.com](mailto:corporate@mangates.com) **©2026 Mangates Tech Solutions Pvt Ltd. This content is protected by copyright law. Copy or Reproduction without permission is prohibited.** **FAQs** **1\. Do I need any prior public speaking experience to attend?** No, this program is designed for women at every stage, from those who feel anxious speaking up to those refining an already-strong voice. **2\. Will I actually get to practice speaking\, or is this mostly lecture\-based?** You'll speak, practice, and receive real feedback throughout the day. Every module includes guided speaking exercises, not passive listening. **3\. What if I freeze up or panic when asked a tough question?** Module 6 is built exactly for giving you strategic frameworks to stay composed and respond confidently under pressure. **4\. Is this only for senior leaders and executives?** Not at all, the program is designed for professionals, entrepreneurs, managers, students, community leaders, and anyone rebuilding or strengthening their voice. **5\. Will this help me if I need to pitch my business or ideas\, not just speak at work?** Yes, Module 2 and Module 3 focus specifically on persuasive messaging and storytelling, both directly applicable to pitching. **6\. What if my voice or body language undermines my message?** Module 4 addresses this directly covering vocal tone, pacing, posture, and gestures that convey confidence and command attention. **7\. Is this suitable for someone returning to the workforce after time away?** Yes, the program is specifically designed to help rebuild confidence and professional presence, regardless of how long you've been away. **8\. How is authenticity addressed\, since a lot of speaking training feels like "performing"?** Module 7 focuses specifically on aligning your communication with your real values, so your delivery feels genuine, not performed. **9\. Can this be customized for our organization's leadership team?** Yes, group sessions can be tailored to your organization's context and delivered on-site or virtually, with group pricing available. **10\. What do I actually leave with at the end of the day?** A practical framework covering all eight core speaking competencies, real feedback from live practice, and a personal speaking development plan you can build on going forward.

Interactive Design: Turn Your Value Proposition into an Experience

Fri, Sep 25, 12:00 AM

From Transformational Leaders Collective

4.5

Your customers don’t truly understand your product or service because you’ve explained it well—they understand it because they’ve experienced it. 💡 In this highly interactive workshop, we’ll explore how to transform your value proposition into moments people can see, feel, test and remember. Rather than relying solely on presentations, websites or sales pitches, you’ll learn how to design interactions that naturally demonstrate why your product, service or idea matters. ✨ Working alongside other participants, you’ll prototype your experiential demonstration, explore customer touchpoints and develop engaging activities that make your offering more tangible, memorable and compelling. Whether you’re pitching to investors, onboarding customers, showcasing a product or introducing yourself at a networking event, you’ll leave with practical ways to replace explanation with experience. 🚀 No startup? No problem! The same principles can be applied to your career and personal brand, helping employers, collaborators, clients and future connections experience your strengths rather than simply hear about them. 🌟 🎟️ **Tickets:** [https://events.humanitix.com/interactive-design-turn-your-value-proposition-into-an-experience](https://events.humanitix.com/interactive-design-turn-your-value-proposition-into-an-experience) 🍕 Refreshments and pizza will follow the workshop **Hosted by** The **Western Sydney Startup Hub**, powered by Spacecubed, is a vibrant innovation and coworking space located in the heart of Parramatta. Designed to support startups, scaleups, and small businesses, the Hub offers flexible workspaces, private offices, meeting rooms, and event spaces within a collaborative, community-driven environment.

Working with Systemic Coaching & Constellation - an experiential workshop

Thu, Sep 24, 7:30 AM

From Coaches Connect Sydney

**Calling Sydney coaches, supervisors, OD people and anyone who gets slightly excited when somebody says, “Maybe there’s more going on here than meets the eye…”** The Association for Coaching has a terrific **in-person experiential workshop** coming up on **24 September** exploring **Systemic Coaching and Constellations**. Ingrid van der Aa and Amy Miszalski will take us beyond talking *about* systemic coaching and give participants an opportunity to actually experience some of the stance and practice behind it. And this, for me, is where systemic work gets interesting. A client may arrive talking about confidence, conflict, career choices or leadership — but sitting behind that presenting issue can be a whole network of relationships, expectations, loyalties and organisational dynamics. Sometimes we need to widen the lens. This workshop will introduce that broader perspective and give participants one or two practical ways to start bringing systemic thinking into everyday coaching conversations. **Thursday 24 September** 5\.30pm arrival \| 6\.00–7\.30pm Randstad, Level 9, 83 Clarence Street, Sydney Open to AC members and non-members, with CPD certification for attendance. Come along — and feel free to tag a coach or colleague who might enjoy exploring this space with us.

The Inner Game of Success: Master Your Mindset, Energy and Performance

Thu, Sep 24, 7:30 AM

From Executive to Entrepreneur: Business Masterclass & Networking

4.6

**The Inner Game of Success: Master our Mindset, Energy and Performance** The biggest obstacles to success are often invisible. Self-doubt, limiting beliefs, fear of failure and emotional overwhelm can quietly undermine even the most capable people, affecting their decisions, confidence and performance. Many people focus on external strategies for success while overlooking the inner patterns that drive their results. In this highly interactive workshop, you will be guided you through practical mindset and peak-performance exercises designed to help you break through mental barriers, build confidence and create greater momentum in both business and life. Rather than simply learning concepts, you will experience proven techniques that help you access your best thinking, manage pressure more effectively and perform at a higher level. Through a combination of reflection, small-group discussion, future vision creation and guided peak-state exercises, you will learn how successful people create empowering emotional states, stay focused on what matters and take consistent action toward meaningful goals. You will also experience practical techniques that can help you generate confidence, motivation and resourcefulness on demand. **By attending this workshop, you will:** * Identify the hidden mental and emotional patterns that may be limiting your success * Learn practical techniques to create confidence, focus and motivation on demand * Develop greater resilience when facing uncertainty, pressure and setbacks * Create a compelling vision for your future that inspires action * Gain practical tools to improve performance in leadership, business and everyday life * Connect with like-minded founders, professionals, leaders and entrepreneurs Whether you're building a startup, growing a business, leading a team or simply looking to perform at your best, this workshop will provide practical tools and insights to help you unlock more of your potential and create lasting positive change. **About the Speakers** **Roy Kwan** Founder and CEO of Coach Anywhere, Business Coach and Certified NLP Trainer. Roy has over 17 years of business consulting experience and helps professionals, leaders and founders develop greater clarity, confidence and emotional resilience under pressure. **Sonya Furlong** One of a small number of certified NLP Master Trainers in Australia, Sonya is passionate about helping people understand and apply the psychology of success, equipping them with practical tools to create meaningful change and achieve extraordinary results. **About Spark Festival** Spark Festival is back for our eleventh year - and things are looking quite different this time around. We're facing into a long period of uncertainty for Australian founders and investors. Government support, certainty over our tax system, R&D tax incentive eligibility and the ongoing legality of AI development in Australia are all hanging in the balance following significant policy announcements, with minimal consideration of the impacts on our ecosystem. Spark Festival is here to make our community's voices heard, to provide a platform for those who can't pay for access, and to spark engagement across Australia's diverse startup ecosystem. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- By registering for this event, you grant full rights to use the images from any photography/video footage for publicity and education purposes.

Unhurried Conversations at the Pub

Mon, Sep 21, 8:15 AM

From Unhurried Conversations Sydney

4.7

In an unhurried conversation, there is time to think differently and connect with people in a refreshing way. Unhurried isn't always slow. It offers a pace where people find it easy to join in and not feel crowded out. And listening can be as satisfying as talking. We use a simple meeting format to make this happen. https://www.unhurried.org/ This newly created event is at a new venue, the Keg & Bew Hotel at Surry Hills. We meet on the 2nd floor around 6:15pm. Food and drinks are available, before and after, on the ground floor and roof top.
