Performing Under Pressure: Building a Strong Presentation Arsenal for Pitching and Keynote Success
Performance anxiety leads to lost business. Teams need a suite of mental, physical, and vocal approaches to maximise the effectiveness of keynotes and pitches.

Leading with Audacity: The Role of Daring Leadership in Inspiring Ambitious Workforces
The measure of a daring leader can be quantified by the number of those who follow without coercion. Ambitious workforces require courageous ground breakers to maximise their collective potential.
Our guest speaker today is a former West End actor, professional saxophonist, and disabled pilot, as former Heads of Acting and Voice in top UK conservatoires, she is a leading expert in elite performance training.
She uses the story of overcoming the loss of the use of her arm to become pilot in command of an aircraft to challenge preconceptions about self- imposed limitation.
She is going to unpick the anatomy of courage and help us to evaluate our own appetite for risk-taking and reward by inverting our preconceptions about the power of presence founded on ideas of surrender and self- nurture.
Please welcome Elite Performance Expert, Charlotte Storey.
60 Minute keynote
Unmasking Bias in the Hiring process: How can a culture of collective intelligence thrive when disabled applicants don’t make the cut? How can marginal gains be achieved by actively endorsing disability?
After losing the use of her right arm, she qualified as a pilot and remains one of a small number of people in the world to fly with this degree of disability.
Despite a childhood blighted by a complex genetic condition, unable to read music, and never having studied drama at school, she has achieved the heights as a West End actor and professional saxophonist. Her autobiography is a testimony to how marginal gains can be achieved by actively endorsing disability.
Turning trauma into triumph, she will share her own amusing and heart- wrenching story of the identity crisis that followed in the wake of losing the use of her right arm, of the psychological impact of disfigurement, and of the financial, social, and personal consequences of forfeiting her ‘whole self’.
Please welcome
Elite Performance Expert and Disabled Pilot, Charlotte Storey.
