Leadership today demands more than expertise - it requires a personal brand that inspires confidence and drives impact.
This event, part of our Lessons from Leaders series, explores how modern leaders build influence through authenticity, clear storytelling, and the everyday moments that shape how others experience them; both online and in the workplace. It focuses on practical ways leaders can show up with confidence, communicate their value, and create a consistent presence that inspires teams and attracts opportunity.
Why it works: Personal branding is a high-demand topic across corporate, professional services, and agency environments. It naturally connects to the idea of first impressions and leadership presence, themes that align well with Nespresso Professional’s focus on premium workplace experiences.
Added bonus: Every attendee will recieve a complimentary professional headshot, positioned at the Nespresso Professional Portrait Lounge, no additional booking required. Let's kick off the year with some updated headshots.
