Last night was a proud night for True North Advisors as we held our very first ‘True Leaders’ dinner, bringing together senior figures from across Scottish industry for fine dining and a unique private masterclass.
were delighted to be joined by internationally-acclaimed body language expert Mark Bowden, who flew in from Canada to deliver an intimate keynote address on how non-verbal communication shapes trust, authority and human connection.
Mark was outstanding - engaging, practical, and full of takeaways you could apply the very next day. And the conversation around the table afterwards was just as valuable as the keynote itself, as Mark shared stories about working with political leaders and shaping outcomes on the global stage.
So… what is True Leaders? The idea is simple.
Like most people in business, we spend a lot of time at dinners, roundtables and industry events. And if you’re being honest, they can be hit or miss.
Sometimes you leave feeling energised, with new ideas and useful connections. Other times, you’ve given up an evening (usually personal time) and don’t come away with much more than a taxi receipt.
We asked ourselves: what would it look like if we created a series where you could genuinely guarantee it was worth showing up?
That’s what True Leaders is.
A small, curated setting.
High-profile global speakers and experts.
Real insight.
No fluff.
The goal is simple: you leave with knowledge you can actually use in your day-to-day work, and hopefully a few new skills and connections along the way.
Thanks to everyone who joined us – and if you’d like to attend the next one or partner with us on future events, please get in touch.
