[Online] Mastering Executive Presence for Technical Leaders
Continuing our DPM webinar series aimed at upskilling & knowledge-sharing, we're joined by Christopher Chin - Communication coach, TEDx speaker, and author who helps technical leaders master executive presence!
Most data and AI leaders are technically sharp but struggle to land their message with senior stakeholders. You know the work is solid - but somehow it doesn't translate into influence, buy-in, or the strategic seat you deserve.
Christopher Chin is a communication coach and author who works specifically with technical leaders on executive presence. In this live conversation, we'll dig into what executive presence actually means for data professionals - and what to do about it. We'll use a live audience poll to shape the discussion around what matters most to you.

What "executive presence" actually means for technical leaders - beyond vague advice like "be more confident"
How to structure your message when presenting to senior audiences

About the Data & AI Product community
Data and AI product management is still a young discipline, and there aren't many spaces dedicated to learning from peers.
So we started this meetup in 2023 to change that! Since then, it's grown into a vibrant community with chapters in London, Barcelona, and Paris.
Whether or not "product" is in your job title, if you're involved in shaping data, analytics, and AI initiatives (e.g. product managers, strategists, BAs, data scientists, engineers, analysts) you'll find like-minded people here.
This is an informal, welcoming space to swap lessons, share challenges, and enjoy drinks and snacks along the way 😊
You can meet us in person at our in-person meetups, but also join our global community where we have expert webinars, training courses, job postings, resources, and discussions.
Quick FAQ
Will this event be recorded? Yes, we will upload the recording here, along with previous DPM Community webinars
If I sign up to this event, will I be opting into any marketing emails? No. We only use the Luma mailing list to invite you to upcoming community events and share community updates (like our end of year membership survey). You can always opt out of the Luma calendar.
Can I mention this to a friend or colleague? Yes, of course! If they're based in London, send them this event. If they're not, it might be better to send them the LinkedIn Live link directly, so they don't get invited to all our in-person meetups too.
Why are you doing this? Data & AI Product Management is a nascent field, and we created this community to bring together practitioners and help share our skills and experiences with those newer to DPM.
