About this Event
Welcome to the RBC London event, where we'll be diving into March's theme, COMMUNICATE, through this month's read , by Charles Duhigg.
Supercommunicators is “a riveting read about how to understand others better. It’s also a revealing look at how to be understood. Charles Duhigg delivers a winning combination of stories, studies, and guidance that might well transform the worst communicators you know into some of the best.” - Adam Grant
Inspired by our monthly non-fiction reads, our mix of part cocktail party, part creative classroom is a recipe that builds your reading habit while connecting with like minded people.
Special guests
, Public speaking coach
Alex spent the last 10 years helping people unlock the true potential of their ideas so they get the credibility and respect they deserve. He's used public speaking to build a business from 4-250 people. Then he founded TEDxClapham and the talks he's worked on since have turned those who delivered them into the go-to people for their subject matter.

, Helping organisations to rebel responsibly and Be More Pirate | Author, speaker, facilitator & speaking coach for women
Alex initially joined Sam Conniff (author of Be More Pirate) as ‘Right Hand Pirate’ to build his book into a network and movement for change. In September 2020 we published a follow up book together 'How to Be More Pirate' which is a collection of stories demonstrating how individuals and businesses have applied pirate principles to solve real world challenges. I’m now ‘Captain’ of our crew, which encompasses several things: Workshops/training, growing the community, producing and co-hosting the Be More Pirate podcast, public speaking and consultancy.
Her side hustle is Pass the Mic: a 7 week training programme Alex designed to help women find the confidence to speak up. It doesn't only help with public speaking, but with interview practice, pitching for work and generally creating a more confident and compelling story about what you do.

About Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection
In this groundbreaking new book, Duhigg unravels the secrets of the supercommunicators to reveal the art – and the science – of successful communication. He unpicks the different types of everyday conversation and pinpoints why some go smoothly while others swiftly fall apart. He reveals the conversational questions and gambits that bring people together. And he shows how even the most tricky of encounters can be turned around. In the process, he shows why a CIA operative was able to win over a reluctant spy, how a member of a jury got his fellow jurors to view an open-and-shut case differently, and what a doctor found they needed to do to engage with a vaccine sceptic.
