ABOUT PAMELA

Pamela Reyes is an expert at working with professionals who want to get in touch with – and then leverage – their true talents then build them into strengths to become authentic magnetic leaders.

Pam spent more than 20 years in corporate America in various international leadership roles working with Fortune 500 companies such as Sun Microsystems, Hitachi Data Systems, Accenture and EDS, travelling regularly within the US, Japan and South America.  She understands all too well what it’s like to navigate corporate politics in the quest for success – only to lose yourself in the process.  After years of corporate pressures to be and act a certain way, she began to lose touch with who she really was and what her greatest strengths are.  That was the catalyst that drove her to follow her true purpose and she founded Executive Force.

Believing so many people lose touch with what they’re really good at, Pam is passionate about identifying, focusing on and then maximizing a person’s true talents and strengths.  She is committed to people playing from this position so they live their life on purpose, not by accident.

Join me and my special guest Kay White for “How To Toot Your Own Horn Without Blowing Your Own Trumpet

Recognizing how many people struggle being visible, being noticed and being heard in the workplace – there are distinct and easy ways to start to be noticed (and credited) for the value, input and potential you have without being labelled “a show off”.  Kay will be sharing just a few of the many tools and tips she herself has learned throughout her own career and she now teaches her clients (who are mainly senior corporate executives) who want to raise their own game in the workplace and for example:

• How to engage people in fruitful, comfortable conversation at networking / corporate events
• Key language to use to “own” things and be seen to be involved without being “a show off”
• A couple of small words that make a BIG difference in how people remember you.

Having recently carried out a survey across various clients and website groups entitled “What drives you nuts about people who communicate with you in the office?” Kay has some great insights into the “dos and don’ts” to share with you.

ABOUT KAY

Kay White discovered her talents as an effective and influential communicator whilst working both in Paris and in the City of London for more than 20 years.

Working to Director level as part of a successful, mainly male, fast-paced team of global insurance brokers Kay learned (often by her own mistakes along the way) how to – and crucially how not to – be noticed and recognised for achievements and abilities and still work comfortably with and alongside people.

In just 5 years, Kay has developed Way Forward Solutions Ltd (www.wayforwardsolutions.com) into a global mentoring and training company showing professionals around the world how to be better understood and be recognised and rewarded for the value they add, as well as the potential they have.

As well as working one-to-one with her VIP clients, Kay also offers live and virtual group trainings and mentorships.

By being understood and getting their messages across with more impact and influence, Kay’s clients become noticed and remembered for “the right” reasons and their relationships, careers and incomes grow as they do.
