Multi-award winning professional speakers Glen Sharkey and Sally Foley-Lewis, will delve into the benefits of pursuing accolades. They’ll explore how awards not only validate your expertise and elevate your credibility but also open doors to new opportunities and audiences. Recognising excellence, awards provide a benchmark of quality that sets you apart in a competitive field.

The session will include practical tips on how to find suitable awards, craft compelling applications, and leverage the multiple phases of an award process, not just your wins, to further your career. Join us to learn how seeking recognition can be a strategic move in your journey as a speaker.
