An inspiring night of voices: Media Clubroom’s Speakers Night

21 June 2024 | Media & culture

Media Clubroom recently hosted an unforgettable Speakers Night, bringing together a vibrant community of thought leaders, mentors, and enthusiasts. The evening was filled with inspiration, engagement, and powerful narratives that left a lasting impression on all attendees.

Speakers Night

A game of quotes

 

Dawn, who leads Growth and Partnerships in Media Clubroom, and host of the event, kicked off with an engaging game where attendees matched famous quotes to their respective speakers. Here are a few memorable pairings:

  • Neil Armstrong: "One small step for…"

  • Martin Luther King Jr.: "I have a dream"

  • William Shakespeare: "To be or not to be…"

  • John F. Kennedy: "Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country"

  • Winston Churchill: "If you’re going through hell, keep going"

  • Albert Einstein: "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."

  • Star Wars: "May the force be with you"

  • Terminator: "I’ll be back"

  • Sherlock Holmes: "Elementary, my dear Watson"

Attendees were also invited to share their favorite quotes, with Dawn citing Annie Dillard's wisdom: “How we spend our days is how we spend our lives.” Such quotes serve as anchors, offering hope and reminding people that they are not alone.

The power of leaders and quotes

 

What do these quotes have in common? They all come from leaders. These leaders inspire through their words, providing a sense of hope and connection. For instance, Francis, Co-founder of Media Clubroom, is known for saying, "I celebrate anyone who tries." This sentiment highlights the value of effort and perseverance, a core belief at Media Clubroom.


I celebrate anyone who tries.

Francis Lo

Co-Founder of Media Clubroom


Redefining leadership

 

Before joining Media Clubroom, many had a traditional view of leadership as firm, strong, and typically male. However, the organization has shown that leadership can also be soft, gentle, and inclusive, exemplified by influential female leaders like Kim

 

Building community and connections

 

The origin of Media Clubroom lies in Advocate, an 18-year-old content production company. Recognizing the importance of storytelling and meaningful connections, Advocate created Media Clubroom to bridge thought leaders with communities, influencing individuals to drive real-world change across diverse industries.

 

A collaborative spirit

 

Media Clubroom thrives on community and collaboration, actively seeking partnerships with like-minded organizations and featuring speakers who are well-known and vouched for. Unlike other speaker bureaus, Media Clubroom is committed to being partners in growth and engagement. Through curated content and proactive marketing, they help speakers expand their reach, as seen with Kim, Joe, and Chrissie, who have benefited from external speaking engagements facilitated by Media Clubroom.

Spotlight on speakers

 

The event highlighted the journeys of three remarkable speakers who joined Media Clubroom at the beginning of the year:

  • Kim: Co-Founder of She Brilliance, Executive Leadership Coach, and Author of 'Success Inside Out.' Kim shared insights into her current projects and her journey with Media Clubroom.
  • Saim: CEO and board director with a proven track record in venture building. Saim discussed his experiences and how Media Clubroom aligns with his long-term goals.
  • Joe Augustin: Professional Speaker and Presentation Coach. Joe elaborated on his ongoing projects and his experience with Media Clubroom.
Open mic session

The night featured an open mic session, allowing attendees to share their journeys or ask questions. Eric, who recently launched a book, shared his experiences, while Kim discussed how she manages her busy schedule. Augustine provided insights into his research for LCCS and his current endeavors.

 

As the night drew to a close, attendees were encouraged to continue enjoying the event. Those interested in joining Media Clubroom as speakers or partners were invited to engage with the team, including Francis and other speakers. The event underscored Media Clubroom’s commitment to building a strong, inspiring community.

The evening was a testament to the power of collective inspiration and the impact of shared wisdom, making it a memorable experience for everyone involved.
