NLCCE Networking Event with Guest Talk
Thursday 21st May, 11am – 1pm
We are delighted to welcome Desi Christou, founder of Desi Christou Coaching, who will be speaking about:
“The Hidden Reason Brilliant People Stay Invisible in Business – and How to Change It”
Many talented business owners struggle to attract the opportunities they deserve – not because they lack expertise, but because they struggle to communicate their value with clarity and confidence. In this thought-provoking talk, Desi Christou – former TV producer turned mindset and presentation coach – shares insights from both the media world and her coaching work to reveal why capable people are often overlooked in business. You’ll discover:
- Why expertise alone isn’t enough to get noticed
- The subtle habits that unintentionally make people invisible
- How to speak about your work in a way that builds trust, influence and opportunity
This short, practical session will help you rethink how you present yourself and your business – so that the right people start paying attention and you can attract more of the clients, opportunities and business you deserve.
