Dubai Women Establishment recently concluded another successful Professional Development, PD, session with the aim of enhancing participants' public speaking skills through invaluable insight into the renowned TED style talks.

On the occasion, Shamsa Saleh, CEO of Dubai Women Establishment said, "We are delighted to host a successful PD session with the aim of providing rare opportunities for Emirati Women to expand their scope of knowledge to international-standards of learning and experiences. In today's technological era that is predominated with quality digital content, it is important to understand and adopt international best-practices of public speaking so that you can bring your message to a wider audience more effectively."

She added, "To achieve this goal, DWE has partnered with a Tedx curator in order to explore the internationally-renowned Ted-style public speaking format. The resultant value from this program is to enable the attendees identify their own voice and style and nurture it, - understand the principles of effective storytelling, performance, rehearsal and managing anxiety. It is heartening to witness the progress each participant has made allowing them to feel more confident and in control onstage, thereby eliminating any limitations to relaying their message of inspirations to the greater audience."

The 4-day workshop was attended by 13 ladies from the local professional and entrepreneurial sectors. The lecture was hosted by Natascia Radice, filmmaker, TEDxDubai curator and social entrepreneur, who has curated TEDxDubai since 2009 and is one of the 12 selected "TEDxChange heroes" that the Gates Foundation has appointed for the implementation of the TEDxChange Pilot.
