Jo’burg Chapter Meeting

Light camera and action… Are you ready for any stage, or that exciting
call from a TV station?

As speakers, we have to fill the room with our presence, words, and
charisma. No matter what your message is, the world is not just judging
you by your content; they are also listening to the quality of your
voice and your overall visual impression.

In our September meeting, we have two powerhouse speakers who will help
you refine those assets.

You may be a highly skilled speaker, but when you step into those bright
lights and powerful camera lenses; do you want your audience focusing on
the imperfections ‌that distract from your message? This question
applies to both male and female speakers.

That healthy glow under the scrutiny of the camera may just make you
look sweaty and nervous. That is why we have invited Cecilia Grobler,
owner of Creative Glamour. She will share her tips, wisdom, and guidance
with us on how to look professional and feel confident in front of the
camera.

Cecilia brings with her a wealth of knowledge from the history of film
and TV industry at the public broadcasters, SABC 1,2,3 and e-TV. Besides
working on shows like Focus and Interface, this artist has an extensive
list of music videos and commercials accredited to her.

After crafting a TV ready image, what is your most important asset? Your
key asset is the ONE skill every speaker needs: Vocal Mastery!

Our voices are where the money is, and that is why we should treat it as
an asset… One that deserves our time, attention and care. Whether you
are a new speaker or already a master, your voice, like any muscle in
your body, needs regular attention.

Along with Cecilia Grobler, we have secured Ursula Botha, the founder of
Confident Voices, for our monthly get together. This world class coach
helps leaders and teams communicate with confidence and position
themselves to stay ahead of the curve.

Ursula’s results-driven approach offers a strategic blend of performance
art and social sciences. It stems from her decades of performing arts
and lecturing experience.

In this Ursula’s practical talk, you will learn:

1. Discover how to build your confident voice
2. Master the melody of your message
3. The #1 tool that confident communicators use to land their messages

This trusted consultant helps elite individuals, top teams, and global
organisations to express their most empowered selves.

Isn’t that just what we need for high-stake meetings, calls, pitches,
keynotes and video communications?

PS: If your speaker profile needs an update to go along with your new
found confident voice, then remember to pre-book your mini photoshoot
with Linda who has a special rate for our guests.

And remember to bring a friend to the event so they too can learn from
our experts.

See you there.
