NIC Karachi is set to host an exclusive workshop titled “Show Up as the CEO You Are (or Aspire to Be)” on 26th December at 3:00 PM, offering startup founders a focused session on executive presence, professional grooming, and founder leadership. The session will be led by Naureen Ghaffar, CEO of N.G Marketing, and aims to equip entrepreneurs with practical skills to build credibility, confidence, and influence in investor meetings, panels, and media interactions.
As Pakistan’s startup ecosystem continues to grow, the need for founders to demonstrate executive presence has become increasingly important.

By emphasizing authentic leadership while managing professional perceptions, participants will gain insights into how to lead teams, engage stakeholders, and represent their startups effectively in high-stakes environments. The program combines practical exercises with actionable takeaways, enabling founders to immediately apply techniques to their professional interactions.
