Speaking & Workshops

Mel Fox Dhar, career strategist, speaking in front of a women leadership affininty organisation in London, UK

I speak about what happens when capable leaders aren't being read at the level they operate.

Most senior professionals don't have a skills problem. They have a signal problem — the market, the room, or the system can't see what they actually bring.

My talks and workshops help experienced leaders close that gap: between how they think and how they're heard, between the judgment they exercise and the story that reaches the people evaluating them.

I work primarily with audiences in and around Big Tech — ERGs, leadership development programmes, conferences, and teams navigating senior hiring and career transitions.

Situational Confidence: how to hold authority when the interview tries to take it

Aligned & Hired: The Executive Interview Summit · April 21, 2026

 

Senior leaders over-prepare on content and under-prepare on composure. The gap shows up the moment a question lands wrong — and the instinct is to scramble rather than steer.

 

This session covers what's actually happening in those moments, how to hold your ground without performing confidence, and includes a live exercise where participants feel the difference between a defensive answer and a grounded one.

Past & available talks 

Make LinkedIn work for you

Your profile was built when recruiters came to you. Now the system has changed, and most senior profiles still read like a résumé, not a signal.

This workshop walks participants through six specific profile updates — not to game the algorithm, but to make their experience legible to the people and opportunities that matter now.

Growing your career by building advocates

Strong work doesn't automatically build the credibility that travels with you. In large organisations especially, how your judgment is understood by the people around you matters as much as the judgment itself.

This session helps participants understand how advocacy actually forms inside organisations — and what to do when their work is strong but their visibility isn't matching.

Bring me in for your team or event

​I design sessions for ERGs, leadership offsites, conferences, and teams going through transitions. Topics sit at the intersection of career strategy, personal brand, and how senior professionals are evaluated inside complex systems.

If you have a specific audience and challenge in mind, let's talk about what would be most useful.
