Business Club members networked over cocktails and canapés while gaining key insights from four distinguished business leaders sharing important lessons learned throughout their remarkable careers.

Communication is such an essential part of human existence, and when it comes to business, it can be the most crucial thing to elevate, or shut down a deal.

On the evening of Tuesday, April 1 our IMAGE Business Club members gathered at The Dublin Royal Convention Centre for a live event focussing on the many facets of communication – what we need to know, what works, what’s exposing us and what’s stopping us from being properly understood.

Gina London

On the night, international Emmy-award-winning former CNN correspondent Gina London presented on The Language of Leadership – how to harness those spoken and implied skills to power up our performance. Gina has huge experience working globally on connection and communication and how these form the cornerstone of business relationships and progressive growth.

We were also joined in conversation by Elisabeth Fitzpatrick, joint head of consumer practice at Wilson Hartnell PR, for whom communication, in its many forms, is her business; Geraldine Jones, founder of Skin Formulas; and Caroline Reidy, managing director of The HR Suite, who understands and consults on the nuances of communication on a daily basis. Caroline, Elisabeth and Geraldine shared their insights and experiences with IMAGE’s contributing editor Melanie Morris in a discussion that definitely struck a chord with attendees.

As always, the evening also offered plenty of opportunities to chat with fellow IMAGE Business Club members over cocktails and canapés, a chance to meet the speakers and gifts for all on departure. This time around each attendee received a gorgeous gift bag courtesy of Skin Formulas, which included their luxurious €55 night cream.
