SUMMARY:CEO Peer Network Support - Public Speaking
DESCRIPTION:Connect with other CEOs & senior leaders to discuss public speaking in a supportive peer network.\n\n\nAt some point\, every one of us will have to stand up in front of an audience. You might need to present an idea to the Board\, persuade investors to work with you\, sell an idea or a service to potential clients\, or deliver some training to your team. \nUnless you’re already a professional speaker\, your nerves might stop you from being your best you. This workshop is designed to help you make the best impression. \nWe’ll cover: \n· How to plan your talk\, to make sure you get your message across \n· How to deliver your talk from the front of the room \n· How to improve your speaking skills and harness your nerves. \nBy the end of this workshop you’ll have a new level of confidence – trusting yourself and your communication skills\, while being confident in the message you want to present. You’ll also have much better clarity about what you want to say\, to whom and how. All of which will help you to deliver the best impression. \n \nTrainer: Chantal Cornelius \nChantal Cornelius left the corporate world in 2000 to set up Appletree Marketing. It was the second best decision she’s ever made. \nSince then\, she’s filled her time helping hundreds of businesses and organisations to grow. Her marketing advice is practical and down to earth – she loves nothing better than showing business owners how to simplify their marketing and get more from a limited budget.. She’s written two books about business survival and marketing; her third one will be published by the time you attend her next workshop! \n \nWhen she’s not thinking about marketing\, Chantal will be walking her dog or working in her garden\, where she grows all her own vegetables.

SUMMARY:CEO Peer Network Support - Strategy Before Tactics
DESCRIPTION:Connect with other CEOs & senior leaders to discuss strategy over tactics in a supportive peer network.\n\n\nOne of the biggest reasons that marketing doesn’t work – or costs too much money – is because people start using marketing tactics\, before considering the strategy. \nMarketing strategy asks four questions: \n· Where is your non-profit organisation now? \n· Where do you want your organisation to be? \n· What’s the best way to get there? \n· Who are the best clients to work with? \nUntil you have the answers to these questions\, you can’t work out the best marketing for your business. Create a road map before you get in the car\, instead of wondering why you don’t reach your destination. \nThis workshop will help you to answer these four questions\, so you can create a simple Marketing Strategy. Save time and save money\, with marketing that really works! \n \nTrainer: Chantal Cornelius \nChantal Cornelius left the corporate world in 2000 to set up Appletree Marketing.
