The people responsible for developing stronger leaders rarely have a room designed specifically for them. This is that room.

Leadership Signals is a relaxed evening gathering for HR, L&D, & People leaders who shape how leadership is developed inside their organizations.

HR leaders often hear broad feedback such as "needs more executive presence," "doesn't sound strategic," or "needs to lead with greater confidence." But what specific communication behaviors might be shaping those perceptions?

At check-in, you'll receive The Leadership Signals Guide, developed by Dr. Sumeyra Ozturk, executive communication coach & founder of Speech & Mind.

The guide introduces seven research-backed signals that influence how credible & authoritative a leader appears. It turns the often-vague idea of executive presence into observable behaviors that are easier to recognize & discuss.

Use the guide as a conversation starter throughout the evening & take it back to your team.

No panels. No presentations. No forced networking.

Just an original leadership-development resource & real conversations over drinks.

HR, People, & Talent leaders
Learning & Development professionals
