About this Event
Join us aboard the beautifully atmospheric Battersea Barge for an inspiring and practical evening designed to help you step forward with confidence, clarity, and authentic authority.
This is not a passive event.
It is an experience.
A space to think differently about your voice.
A space to strengthen your message.
A space to connect with people who are walking the same path as you.

Imagine. Picture. Envision.
Imagine yourself stepping onto a stage feeling calm, clear and confident.
Picture yourself speaking with authenticity — knowing your message matters and your audience is ready to hear it.
Envision yourself communicating with presence and authority, being seen, heard and remembered for what you truly stand for.
For many people, speaking on stage feels mysterious, intimidating, or reserved for “other people.”
It isn’t.
Confidence is not something you are born with.It is something you build — step by step, voice by voice, message by message.
Owning the stage is not about performance.It is about alignment — mindset, message and presence working together.
This evening is designed to help you take that step.
What the Evening Includes
Together, Louise Slattery (The Mind Lady) and Brenda Dempsey, Publisher, Strategist and Authority Architect, in collaboration with Book Brilliance Publishing will guide you through an engaging, supportive and energising session that combines mindset and message, so you can truly own the stage.
During the evening, you will experience:
- Mindset work and guided envisioning to strengthen belief in your voice
- Practical insight into storytelling and message clarity
- Tools to speak with authenticity and authority
- A fresh perspective on how to position yourself as a thought leader
- Interactive connection with like-minded professionals
- A welcoming environment to build genuine relationships and new friendships
Because when you shift the lens on self-belief, you unlock the confidence to speak your truth, and your audience begins to listen differently.
