Announcing Dr. Louise Mahler as “another” fabulous Keynote Speaker at PCOA 2024!

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that Dr. Louise Mahler, one of the most sought-after speakers in leadership communication, will be joining us as a keynote speaker at this year’s PCOA Conference 2024: Accelerate at The Star Brisbane!

Dr. Mahler has built a global reputation for her captivating presentations, full of insight, humour, and practical tools that attendees can immediately put into action. Whether you’re a PCO, in-house meeting manager, corporate planner, or exhibitor, this is a session you simply cannot afford to miss. Did you know we can all lead even if we don’t have the title ?

Why You Can’t Miss This Session

Here’s a question for you: have you ever been sitting in a committee meeting, meeting with a client, or even eyeing up a competitor and thought, “They don’t seem all that important, I know they are a highly successful leader, but they just don’t seem like one?” Imagine if they’d had just one session with Dr. Louise Mahler—not only would they be a leader, but they’d present like one too!

Or maybe you’ve encountered the opposite: a nasty past boss or a know-it-all supplier—someone with the title of leader who just doesn’t seem to own it. Perhaps they don’t carry themselves with the respect or authority you’d expect. Leadership isn’t just about how you look; it’s about how you communicate, connect, and inspire. And that’s exactly what Dr. Mahler will show you.
