February Masterclass - Speak Up: Confidently Communicate Like a CEO

Friday 13th February 2026, 12:00pm – 1:30pm 
 

This month and during #NAW2026, we’re super excited to invite you to the Association of Apprentices’ exclusive online Masterclass: Speak Up: Confidently Communicate Like a CEO. 

By the end of this interactive 90-minute workshop, you’ll walk away with:

  • Three practical speaking habits you can start using right away

  • A simple, brain-based technique to stay calm and think clearly under pressure

  • A confidence boost that creates lasting impact over time

Meet your host: Delphine Legat from Executive Mindset Coaching Limited.

Delphine is an accredited Occupational Psychologist & Performance Coach specialising in Imposter syndrome, burnout prevention, and making big changes feel simple & impactful.

Before founding her coaching business, she was in the corporate intelligence and investigations space hunting down people and hidden money, heading a team of 70 across the company’s global offices, and promoted to management within 2 years of starting. She left after experiencing a 6-week burnout which started off as a 40-degree fever, tonsilitis, and being bedbound for 5 weeks – which goes to show how important it is to listen to your body!

Her mission is to help professionals like you find the right work-life balance for your life, rediscover yourself, and find your spark – so life happens with you, not to you.
