How speaking adds to my leadership
Public speaking has played a big role in shaping my leadership style, especially in project leadership, where presenting, clear communication, and listening are key. Through events like SCADbound, the LEAD Conference, and Spotlight Day, I’ve learned how important it is to effectively present ideas, adapt based on feedback, and create real connections with the audience in front of me.
Leadership to me isn’t just about sharing my vision—it’s about listening to and elevating others visions. Speaking has taught me to communicate with clarity, motivate teams, and actively listen to the needs and concerns of others. These skills have been critical in leading projects and helping to guide both individual and team success.
As an introductory speaker for two events at SCADstyle, I had the opportunity to set the stage for thought-provoking conversations around design, innovation, and creative industries. It was an honor to open the event, welcoming industry leaders and fellow creatives, while highlighting the importance of pushing boundaries in both fashion and design. My role allowed me to engage with a dynamic audience, fostering a dialogue that celebrated SCAD’s commitment to creativity and forward-thinking leadership.
