The event is focused around providing key advice to young professionals on finding their voice in the workplace. Finding a voice as an early career professional can be overwhelming. When is the right time to chime in? How can you know if your words make an impact?

Join us for a presentation on building confidence in the workplace, from internal discussions to client workshops.

We'll discuss physical cues to break into a conversation, tools to make your participation more impactful, and ways to add value even when you're not speaking. We aim to build confidence to find your voice in the room - even if you consider yourself an introvert!

The event will start with networking over drinks and nibbles, then a presentation from Noelle Pause and small group discussions of the takeaways. Senior professionals from several organisations will be part of the group discussions to share their stories/advice.

This event is in person (Auckland) and aimed at early career professionals with less than 5 years of experience. Registration is essential, book early to avoid disappointment.
