These strategies will help you create trust and loyalty, increase credibility, and build stronger relationships with stakeholders. As a result of the session, you will walk away with guidelines for deciding what to communicate,… when to communicate,… and how to communicate strategic, routine, and sensitive messages.

    Audiences will learn to

    • Apply a four-part model for thinking on their feet to structure clear, concise messages—whether responses to questions in meetings, hallway interactions, or extemporaneous presentations

    • Assess their personal communication style to determine characteristics of personal credibility

    • Identify guidelines for giving bad-news messages

  • Talking to the Top Brass

    You need a strong personal presence and specific techniques to lead senior executives through difficult discussions to sound decisions. This program will help you identify and avoid pitfalls that surface with such groups and deliver a point persuasively. You’ll learn to structure your message well, give substantive responses to their toughest questions, recognize and avoid common annoyances with such high-level audiences, and add the finishing touches to make your points memorable. You’ll walk away from the session understanding the typical expectations of executive groups when you present recommendations, ideas, or information in meeting discussions, informal interactions, and formal presentations.

    Specifically, you will be able to—

    • Recognize 5 common irritants that surface when presenting ideas and recommendations to executives, and identify ways to avoid these pitfalls in informal or formal meetings and presentations.

    • Structure recommendations and presentations for the highest impact.

How do you react when your boss or client changes the course of your discussion in midstream? Adding “the finishing touches” will help you be yourself in front of a group of 3 or 300. You’ll learn to think on your feet, handle tough questions and situations, facilitate discussion among strong personalities, and build rapport with the group—whatever its size.
