Stand out! (for the right reasons)
Do you worry your business could be exposed to negative comments on social media because of disgruntled customers or poor communication? Do your staff have all the skills they need to make sure that doesn’t happen? And if it does…what then?

It's no secret - people judge your business or organisation based on their first impression. It’s always been that way, but the difference now is they're likely to form that view because of a comment made by someone in their social media network. One negative issue can go global in a heartbeat. On top of that, ‘regular employees’ are now perceived as a highly credible source of information about a business, while the credibility of the boss has taken a nose dive. Everyone in your business has a new and critical role to play; whether they know it or not, they’re your secret reputation weapon.

Neryl draws on stories from her media career in this entertaining and inspiring presentation that changes how employees see themselves in the business – regardless of their role.

What you’ll take away: Four killer strategies to build reputation capital in your business or organisation, Why 'spin' is dead, and what you now need to succeed, The high price of neglecting your reputational health, Why your survival depends on having a stand-out culture.
Perfect for: Managers, team leaders and employees at any level in a business or organisation.

Be extraordinary, one choice at a time: How to take more action, break through obstacles and achieve beyond expectations.
This joyful, compelling and invigorating presentation shows audiences how setting a “giggly goal” can transform their business, relationships and life. It’s a fresh take to re-set hope and optimism in a chaotic world.
YOUR AUDIENCE WILL:
-Use the momentum of negative experiences to propel them to the next level of success in any area of life.
-Implement the keys to making high-quality choices that will shape their extraordinary future

Leadership in the spotlight
These days, the whole world is one giant media outlet. Your performance is being watched and judged by a global audience, and any boo-boo has the potential to spark a social media frenzy. Leaders must adapt to this shifting environment – even if they didn’t begin their career in the digital age.

Just what does it take to be a leader in this sometimes blinding spotlight? You need to be an astute, credible and strategic communicator, able to persuade and influence while remaining authentic – and always respecting the critical contribution of your team. Neryl has advised, coached and mentored leaders in government, business and the not-for-profit sector to have credibility, confidence and influence in all their interactions. She brings that experience – and her own track record in the media spotlight – to this vibrant presentation.
