You know your stuff. Can you say it when it counts?

The problem
A 2024 survey of 966 business leaders found that 6 in 10 companies hired a graduate and let them go within the year. Technical ability was not the main reason. 53% of employers said graduates arrive unprepared for professional communication: interviews, meetings, networking and speaking with authority at work.

Universities produce capable graduates. The gap sits between what you know and how you show up. In an interview you ramble or freeze. In a meeting you stay quiet. At a networking event you run out of things to say after hello.

The habits you form at the start of your career tend to stick. They either speed you up or hold you back.

 

The fix
The Confident Voice is a full-day practical workshop for graduates and students.  The method behind it was developed over 25 years and delivered to more than 1,000 professionals across leading consultancies and corporate environments. It is practical and repeatable, and tested at senior level. We have built the same approach for people entering the job market for the first time.

​

On the day, you will work on:

• Structuring and delivering confident answers in interviews.

• Speaking up in meetings.

• Networking with purpose.

• Handling difficult conversations.

• Projecting presence.

 

What’s included

• A full day of practical training.

• Structured frameworks for interviews, networking and professional conversation.

• Live practice with real time feedback.

• A small cohort of around 25, with everyone taking part.

• A personal action summary after the workshop.

 

Investment
£199 per student. Early bird pricing available.
