engage & influence
from the boardroom to the stage
“What Carissa brings is an ability to anticipate what will grab the audience. The presentation built intensity, feeding on what was behind, and leading the audience exactly where I wanted them to go…It was like loading a jack-in-the-box, and all I had to do was turn the crank at the right speed… bottom line is that it is worth the investment to take your impact on your most important audience to a higher level. The most powerful thing I did was to follow all of her advice, and it is the first time I have experienced the feeling of having total control of an audience.”
You are a fast-paced, highly successful leader who needs to boldly engage the organisation and external stakeholders in a new purpose and narrative to activate transformational change. You thrive on leading with rational argument, now you must communicate authentically from your heart.
As a former BBC news and current affairs reporter and presenter, I understand how to unlock a compelling narrative. I help you connect to your authentic voice, find powerful expression and influence with skill. You’ll discover a repeatable and simple framework to build a library of stories and storytelling techniques suited to your unique character and role at this moment in time. You’ll use your own story and moral compass to guide the way you articulate important issues and strategic objectives and bring them alive. You’ll develop presence and the confidence to make you and and your words memorable.
The result? An ability to take audiences on a journey of unexpected discovery that challenges preconceptions, brings people on side and inspires action, whether that be at the boardroom table or in front of an audience of thousand’s.
