ICON New Zealand’s inaugural event will be a panel discussion on influencing without power.
Often in Marketing and Business Development, our roles require us to work with multiple stakeholders and advise on outcomes without decision-making power. This panel discussion will dive into how to present with confidence to create influence and put your best foot forward, whether it’s in the boardroom or when leading your own teams.
The panel includes personal presence expert Maggie Eyre, transformation and leadership coach Peter Johnston and Dave Colquhoun, Procurement Manager (Infrastructure) at Auckland Transport.
The morning will include a light breakfast kindly provided by Home Recruitment.
