Jo’burg Chapter Meeting

Dear members, colleagues, and friends

As the year gets well under way, we have to gear ourselves up not only for renewing our speaking careers for 2023, but also for renewing our mindsets. This chapter meeting will focus on how you can prepare yourself for a successful year through a mindset that focuses on the influence we can have as speakers.

We’ve lined up two exceptional speakers who will take you through visioning your future self and the tools to transform your talks.

Alison Weihe – Visioning Your Future Self
Alison will be facilitating a process whereby speakers can look into how they can create a powerful, impactful brand as speakers, writers and influential thought leaders.

She will draw on her lessons as an award-winning entrepreneur over the past 25 years, and talk about how she built her brand as a speaker.

Alison will share the wisdom behind the psychology of brand awareness and linking it to the thought leadership of Dr Benjamin Hardy, Dr Joe Dispenza and Seth Godin, among many others.

She will explore the psychology of charisma and how that influences how people perceive you as a thought leader.

Kim Vermaak – Transforming Hearts and Minds
A speaker has the ability to reach the heart of their audience. But how do you get your audience to take that lesson home and apply it?

Many of us have experienced the adrenalin of being in a conference that stirs our souls, but then we fall short on the implementation.

In this talk, Kim Vermaak, an award-winning entrepreneur and author, shares how two of South Africa’s major crises forever changed the way she looked at family and business. She shows you how, as a speaker, you can create a tool that continues to transform the hearts and minds of your audiences in their quiet moments, long after they have attended your talks. Kim teaches you how to build a legacy.

Warm regards
