🌟What a great start to our Communication and Confidence workshop part of Empowering Girls Project run by Judy Salmon at Princess Yachts Plymouth yesterday. Judy was great at engaging with the young mentees. They discussed first impressions, personal branding, confidence in communication, overcoming fear, and stepping out of their comfort zones. The session was very interactive, and everyone seemed to really enjoy it. The feedback from the mentees and the teachers Saints Academy Plymouth and Sir John Hunt Community Sports College was amazing.
Once again, THANK YOU to Princess Yachts Plymouth for hosting the event, providing a delicious lunch, and most importantly, for sharing more information about opportunities and within your business.
