The Most Dynamic Speakers: Developing a Growth Mindset for Success to the community. By connecting women in various industries, She Brilliance creates opportunities for collaboration and growth while also emphasizing the importance of social impact. The organization's mission is to provide a supportive environment where women can develop their leadership skills, advance their careers, and contribute to causes that uplift others. Through its initiatives, She Brilliance continues to make a meaningful impact on women's leadership development. audience. It was all about them. She wants She Brilliance to be different—one that focuses on the audience, the women who are truly seeking guidance and support on their development journeys. Leading with Purpose! W organizations recognize the value of diverse perspectives in driving progress. With the growing influence of women in business, there is an increasing emphasis on building communities that uplift and support female leaders. These initiatives aim to address the challenges women face in leadership roles, offering guidance and fostering personal and professional growth. The shift toward making spaces where women can connect, share experiences, and mentor one another plays an important role in encouraging the next generation of female leaders to step confidently into their roles. omen's leadership continues to be an essential focus across industries as Building a Supportive Women's Community Her key responsibility is to ensure the community embraces the company 5Cs mission, which means "We CONNECT to COMMUNICATE, find opportunities to COLLABORATE, and most importantly, step up to CONTRIBUTE before we CELEBRATE as ONE." Let's explore Kim's strategic leadership journey: Building a community that encourages more business and professional women to come together to advance other women through its Mentorship Programme, Learning and Development sharing sessions, and Do Good Together, raising funds to help the less fortunate is essential. Addressing Superficiality in Leadership Conferences Kim was already an entrepreneur running her own consultancy and executive leadership coaching business alongside her corporate career prior to establishing She Brilliance in 2021. Her current journey started when she began exploring coaching some 20 years ago as her leadership journey entered senior management roles, and she wanted to learn and become a better, more influential, and effective leader. Kim Underhill, CEO and Founder of She Brilliance demonstrates the qualities of a leader who prioritizes the growth and development of others. Her leadership is rooted in a deep commitment to empowering women to thrive both personally and professionally. Through her coaching and mentorship, Kim cultivates an environment where women are encouraged to embrace their authentic selves and lead with confidence. Her focus on building relationships, offering constructive feedback, and inspiring women to take initiative has shaped a community where collaboration and personal development are at the core. Getting to know each member is a large part of her work, ensuring as best as possible that everybody is supported in one way or another. Supporting Career and Professional Development Kim's leadership style is very "Coaching," hence the name the community has given her, "Mama- Bear." Her focus is on empowering as many women as possible to shine through building confidence, helping them bring light to their personal brand visibility, and creating an ecosystem to support their career and professional development. Through the years, the thought of "Life After" (not after-life) got her thinking about how she would like to retire and still live a fulfilled life. Hence, she called her current phase "Pretirement," doing something meaningful, truly enjoying the freedom of choice, and deciding how busy she wants to be (own time, own targets). She Brilliance, established by Kim and Co-founders El Kwang and Kate Sibbett in 2021. While El Kwang and Kate Sibbett have stepped down due to repatriation overseas, Kim continues to manage the platform dedicated to supporting women through mentorship programs, learning and development sessions, and initiatives that give back What inspired her to start She Brilliance was simply because she found many Women Leadership Conferences too superficial, with great women leaders she called "Goddesses of MNCs" sharing their success journeys and stories but never truly or personally connecting with the Her continuous work is to cultivate a Coaching Leadership style in the women as well. This requires the willingness of these women to build strong relationships, encourage open communication, set clear goals for the

Just this week, a beneficiary from a local charity passed suddenly, leaving behind a 7-year-old daughter. She Brilliance immediately stepped up to raise funds to help with funeral costs and the little girl's future living expenses. Matching Mentors and Mentees Effectively Kim understands the strengths, personalities, and needs of the mentors and mentees, which helps her shape the way she matches each mentor/mentee pairing. She encourages continuous learning and provides opportunities for development. She encourages continuous learning and provides opportunities for development. Balancing Work-Life Integration Through Choices Balancing work-life integration for her is all about the choices she makes and how she manages her time. Her clear vision was simply to have more quality time with her family, continue to support women's leadership development, volunteer her time for non-profit activities, and use her years of corporate experience to keep working so that she could travel as far as she could and for as long as she can. She aims to be a role model and demonstrate the behaviors she wants to see in the community. She Brilliance uses the "Befriender" approach to mentorship, meaning while the cohort lasts for 3 months, all pairings are encouraged to keep the relationship beyond the stipulated timeframe. Kim's personal mentor has been with her for 30 years, and she still seeks his advice every now and then. Involving People in the Change Process She emphasizes the importance of having a clear vision and the ability to articulate a compelling vision for change to align the organization's goals and provide a sense of purpose for transition through effective communication. As for the monthly masterclasses, the focus is to raise awareness of the subject experts from within the community. She Brilliance focuses on inviting women leaders and entrepreneurs to step up to conduct classes for the community. The subjects range from personal to professional development and often include lots of interactive and fun out- of-the-box topics. Having been a single mother for the last 30 years, raising two young kids, then aged 8 and 4 years old, building resilience came automatically (no time for tears nor excuses) and getting things done with minimum concerns of the 'what ifs' helped her stay focused and forward. She always involves her people throughout the change process, soliciting input and feedback from them to help increase buy-in and reduce uncertainty and anxiety about the unknown. She believes that change is constant and must focus on people—how she cares for, leads, and develops them—so they can accept and have a voice to question some of her change strategies. Today, her time is evenly shared between these objectives. She is independent in pursuing her professional career in Management Consultancy, Executive Leadership Coaching, and Keynote speaking, where she can be selective on the projects she takes on, allowing her time for She Brilliance, her passion project. She also finds time to volunteer in women-related social spaces such as Daughters of Tomorrow, Singapore Business Professional Women Association, Global Women in Public Relations, etc. Supporting Smaller Non-Profit Organisations Social impact for She Brilliance is about identifying the smaller, less visible non-profit organizations and causes to support. She often encourages people to "Be the Change before change changes YOU." This involves a simple process to influence people's behaviors through "Embrace the UNCOMFORTABLE," being extremely CURIOUS, always staying CONNECTED, practicing CONSCIOUS decision-making, and allowing no CARPING. Every year, She Brilliance selects a different platform, and this year, the focus is on "Sewing Mums," a campaign supporting single mothers with chronic illness or caring for a sick child. Through home-based sewing projects, they can earn a livelihood. Kim is intentional and conscious about 'I Walk the Talk' to influence change. She believes people follow leaders who care, have good relationships with Staying Updated on Leadership Trends Methods Kim uses to stay informed Kim's focus remains on supporting women-related initiatives and leading and encouraging the community to step

Empowering Voices S peaking is one of the arts to efficiently express yourself, especially in the saturated information world today. Beyond conveying facts, speech inspires transformation and development in the individual and community. Good speaking power can empower voices, motivate actions, and help create connections. In this article, we shall explore how speakers can inspire growth through communication by discussing some of the important techniques and principles that alter an audience's mind. Understanding the Power of Words Words are so powerful. They can lift; they can inspire people to change and grow. Such incredible leaders throughout history, beginning with orators whose words ignited movements and inspired future generations. Think about Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech or Malala Yousafzai's advocacy for education and why it continues to inspire young people around the world. These speakers knew what was going on within the human mind and were wise enough to tap into that to energize you to grow. The Art of Inspiring Growth Through Effective Speaking Emotional Connection An effective speaking performance starts from an emotional connect with the audience. In a talk, when a speaker shares personal stories or experiences that are close to that of the listener, he or she connects himself or herself to the other end. That is important because then the viewer will see the speaker as a fellow human being and not a mere voice. 16 | September, 2024 | www.enterprisereview.com 17 September, | 2024 | www.enterprisereview.com

Effective Techniques for Emotional Connect: understand, no matter how the audience reacts to the message or where they come from. communities. With the three words that connect emotionally, communicate clearly, engage your audience, and create inclusivity combined with a commitment to continuing improvement, voices empowered can inspire real, lasting change in the world we navigate every day. Effective communication will remain the cornerstone of personal and collective growth. Let's embrace it, raising the voices that have the power to change lives and mold futures. “Speakers don't just tell stories; they create a vision that others can see.” Some of these include: 3. Visual Aids: Through slides, images, or props, the audience can understand a subject better. It can break some complex ideas into smaller parts and also hold the audience's attention. 1. Storytelling: People relate to a story. They connect with each other. A compelling story that gets told can make abstract thoughts an almost tangible reality, making the message stick. Interactive Audience 2. Vulnerability: Sharing struggles or failures can disarm an audience by making the speaker more relatable. Authenticity follows as people who struggle relate to other people who struggle. Inspiration of growth requires an active audience. The passive audience is unlikely to retain and respond to the message by the speaker. Techniques that engage the audience facilitate a two-way dialogue that will make the experience more lively and effective. 3. Humor: At just the right moment, a well-placed joke can be used to lighten things up and create a feeling of common bond. Humor builds an open and receptive audience by breaking barriers. Techniques to Engage the Audience: 1. Questions: Rhetorical or direct questions in the speech bring out a thought-provoking and reflective mind before the presentation. The audience engagement is sharpened, as they not only hear but also contemplate the views that prevail on the same. Clarity and Purpose Clarity and purpose are the bases for efficient speaking. The speaker should be familiar with his or her message; it should become accessible and yet compellingly articulated. A clear purpose helps control the stream throughout the audience during the speech, which makes it easier to absorb and engage them with the content. 2. Interactive Elements: The use of polls, quizzes, or small group discussions can energize the audience. This participatory approach not only keeps the listeners attentive but also empowers them to make their voices heard. 3. Call to Action: A good conclusion is supposed to be clear, making a call to action. This puts the audience in a position to take concrete actions after hearing the speech in order to remind them that growth is feasible and in their hands. Strategies for Clarity: 1. Formulation: Coherence is enhanced when a speech is structured properly. A perfect speech has a body, introduction, and conclusion. Each of the sections should be continuous without halt and repeat the main message. Conclusion 2. Simplicity: One should use words that provide a simple meaning instead of jargon. Speaking means that the message delivered should be easy to Effective speaking is an art to inspire growth. It has such great power that it can transform persons and 18 | September, 2024 | www.enterprisereview.com

Transformative Talks How Dynamic Speakers Cultivate a Growth Mindset T he world has to change because humans need to be able to adapt, learn, and grow. It can be attributed to a growth mindset because abilities and intelligence grow with effort as well as hard work. Dynamic speakers are specially placed to promote a growth mindset among their audience: not only do they express ideas but inspire change through the words they say, the way they deliver those words, and the connection established with an audience. This article captures the different ways by which dynamic speakers foster the growth mindset through revolutionizing talks, with some impactful and inspiring methods creating resounding influence. Understand Growth Mindset Before entering the dynamic speakers, it's vital to describe what a growth mindset is. Carol Dweck, a psychologist, introduced this term when she described beliefs in people's minds that talents and abilities are not fixed qualities but can be developed over time through experience. This mindset calls for resilience, adaptability, and the willingness to embrace challenges; that's what the dynamic speakers use to inspire their people. Dynamic Speakers Dynamic speakers are those who can hold, activate, and even get an audience done with their presentations. They possess charisma and know deeply how to connect with listeners on both emotional and intellectual levels. Their activity is quite multidimensional: narration, relatability, and interactive 20 | September, 2024 | www.enterprisereview.com 21 September, | 2024 | www.enterprisereview.com

techniques of storytelling help in cultivating a growth mindset. eliminates the stigmas that may surround making mistakes. This normalizes attitudes toward failure as a stepping stone and not the endpoint. fostered for growth. As they set up the interactive setting, they invite audience participation instead of making the listeners only passive recipients of information. Techniques for Fostering a Growth Mindset Storytelling • Promote Experimentation: Speakers can advance a culture of experimentation and celebrate attempts at new approaches. This creates an environment where people feel safe taking risks and learning outcomes. Interactive Techniques: Storytelling is one of the best instruments for a speaker. Personal anecdotes and relevant stories help one to explain complicated concepts in simple words. When vibrant speakers tell their journeys-complete with struggles, failures, and victories-they show that growth really is a process. • Live Polls and Q&A: Involving live polls or Q&A sessions allows the audience to interact. This would assist in changing certain questions or concerns to be asked into issues that need to be addressed by speakers, making the argument that everyone's view counts. Positive Language and Affirmation The words used by the speaker are the most important factor in how the audience will receive the message. Positive-speaking individuals use affirmations and positive language to make it very clear that growth can occur. This can become possible for a change of mind of the audience from lack to the possibility. Storytelling Impact: • Small Group Discussions or Activities: In a talk, engaging small groups in discussions or activities can empower the participants to tell their own stories and voice out their experiences. The group activity creates community and community development. • Relatability: The closer the relationship of the audience with the experiences of the speaker, the higher the chances that it would attract those who would connect with its sharing. This makes listeners reflect on their lives and think about growth. Examples of Positive Language: • Emotion: A correctly crafted story can make the listener feel and understand. Emotions always connect the listener to the speaker more, making the audience love to change and build themselves. • Empowering Statements: The dynamics of including such empowering messages as "You have the potential to learn" or "Any obstacle brings an opportunity" helps motivate and inspire. Such slogans can be reproduced from one's heart, which ultimately builds confidence in the audience. Conclusion Dynamic speakers are game changers because they reinvigorate the mind by change-making talks. The dynamic speakers engage in storytelling, inspire risk-taking, use positive talk, drive engagement, and make lifelong learning possible for others. All these are to march forward in this progressive world where, a growth mindset is the only way that one could have personal success and collective success. So, as we listen to these dynamic speakers, one is reminded of the capacity for growth and that words turn everything, for every talk becomes an opportunity to ignite change, for us to step into our potential and take up the lifetime journey of learning. Dynamic speakers often try to make the audience focus on venturing beyond their comfort zones. Talking about their own selves, risks taken and living in the shadow of uncertainties is how they usually motivate the same in their listeners. Instead of blaming failure for being wrong, it should be encouraged as a strategy for risk-taking to learn from mistakes. • Vision Statements: Visionary speakers point out what growth is all about. When they provide a clear vision for the future, it inspires the listeners to develop visions for their own potential and take actionable steps to reach it. Great leaders are not dened by the absence of weakness, but rather by the presence of clear strengths. Risk Taking Strategies Engagement through Interactivity • Share Failures: When speakers openly share stories of failures and what was learned from them, this Interactive speakers realize that engagement is one aspect to be 22 | September, 2024 | www.enterprisereview.com
