We are delighted to welcome author Gina London to the RDS Members Club on Thursday, 17 September 2026 at 6.30pm to speak about her new book Amplify You.

“Change your Communications, Change Your Life”

In Amplify You: How to Connect More Powerfully in an AI World, Gina shares her signature Say It, Look It, Be It framework. This practical guide helps professionals who feel overlooked or uncertain reclaim confidence and communicate with clarity in every situation, from boardroom presentations to difficult conversations. Drawing from decades of coaching Fortune 500 leaders, Gina reframes effective communication as amplifying who you already are rather than becoming someone else.

Gina London is the CEO of Language of Leadership, Ltd. and one of the world’s most sought-after advisors on executive presence and strategic influence. An Emmy-winning former CNN anchor, she partners with senior leaders and boards across Fortune 500 companies and government institutions to help them transform how they lead, communicate, and inspire.

Blending behavioural science with her global broadcast experience, Gina guides leaders through deep, sustainable transformation — shifting how they think, connect, and mobilise others. Her clients span five continents and include Salesforce, SAP, Merck, PwC, Pernod Ricard, JP Morgan, and the United States Department of State, among others.

We are delighted to welcome US author Muriel Wilkins to the RDS Members Club on Thursday, 29 October 2026 at 6.30pm. Published by Harvard Business Review, Muriel’s best-selling book Leadership Unblocked deals with breaking through the beliefs that limit pur potential as leaders.

As a leader, do you find yourself frustrated, wondering why employees don’t meet expectations, peers are slow to act, or pressure from your boss falls unfairly on your shoulders? It’s easy to point a finger at others and double down on getting results. But have you ever considered that the problem might not be them-that it might be you? Through countless hours coaching executives over the past twenty years, C-suite adviser Muriel M. Wilkins has pinpointed the biggest reason behind these common leadership challenges: hidden blockers. These unconscious beliefs can actively stall progress if leaders aren’t aware of their existence, preventing them from seeing a situation clearly, solving problems effectively, and advancing their careers.

In Leadership Unblocked, Wilkins reveals seven key beliefs that hold leaders back, from “I know I’m right” to “I need to be involved” to “I don’t belong here.” Combining illustrative and powerful coaching conversations and research from the fields of neuroscience, leadership, and adult development theory, Wilkins offers a self-coaching guide for identifying, unpacking, and breaking through these barriers.By using the practical advice in this book, leaders and aspiring leaders alike can cultivate the mindset to achieve their goals and finally become the leaders they want to be.

Muriel M. Wilkins is the founder and CEO of the leadership advisory firm Paravis Partners. She is a sought-after, trusted adviser and executive coach to high-performing C-suite and senior executives who turn to her for help in navigating their most complex challenges with clarity and confidence. She is the coauthor of Own the Room: Discover Your Signature Voice to Master Your Leadership Presence and host of the award-winning podcast Coaching Real Leaders. She holds an MBA from Harvard Business School.
