Masterclass experts named for PRmoment Leaders Agency Programme second semester

The second semester of the PRmoment Leaders Agency Programme commences in September and I’m excited to announce the lineup of experts who will be delivering our next tranche of masterclasses.

A great cohort of senior people from an interesting array of agencies has participated in the first semester of our subscription-based learning programme and community. We have more people joining ahead of the new semester to prepare to lead their agencies and drive future growth.

Here are a couple of comments from our current students:

“Great sessions, inspiring speakers and some really valuable learnings so far. I highly recommend anyone in an agency leadership role getting involved with this programme.”
Hannah Lloyd, Director, Pinstone

“The masterclasses have been fantastic, giving me useful insights and strategies that I’ve already put into practice. As we go through the course, I’m feeling more confident about my leadership skills.”
Louise Everett, Director, The Influence Crowd

Anyone joining now will do so in time to join the upcoming masterclasses and gain access to recordings of every masterclass already completed.

Please register your interest here or contact me directly if you’d like to get your people onboard.

Here is the full line-up for the second semester of PRmoment Leaders:
