Executive Training
What distinguishes successful and respected leaders? Authentic connection that comes from credible communications.
This comes from three main pillars:
- establishing your personal credibility
- understanding and empathizing with your audience, and
- getting the relevant facts right.
Information is giving out.
Communication is getting through.
Our programs go beyond basic presentations skills training or so-called “pitch coaching.” Leaders will learn how to:
- Find and develop your authentic voice
- Make your case: from informing to persuading to motivating
- Tune-in to yourself and your audience: making the connection
- Implement theories of persuasion in practical settings
Leadership Coaching
Leveraging coaching methodologies, I work one-on-one with leaders to uncover barriers to effective communications and develop my clients’ authentic voices. In customized and confidential sessions, either in person or over videoconferencing, I partner with clients to help them level up their persuasive techniques, executive presence, and leadership communication style.
Coaching for Grad School Admissions Interviews
Preparing for your grad school admissions interview can be bewildering and nerve-wracking. I have worked with students preparing for admissions interviews to enter some of the top graduate programs.
Whether it’s nursing, veterinary medicine, or medical school, I can help you develop and deliver your personal narrative with confidence. I can also help you prepare for the challenging questions you are likely to answer.
Facilitation | Team Messaging Labs
We facilitate strategic messaging sessions to help teams develop compelling organizational stories.
These stories are the foundations of corporate pitch decks and the compass for navigating high-stakes internal and external communications.
A mountain of facts and data points neither inspires nor resonates. Very often, organizational leaders have been repeatedly telling the same tired list of facts to a weary audience. When it doesn’t work, they figure perhaps if they were just louder, or reached more people. In defeat, they blame the audience for “not getting it.”
Through our [re]frame process, we help leaders craft messages into a story that connects the dots and generates a meaningful narrative.
In this inclusive process, we listen to a variety of viewpoints, from customers to people at different levels of the organization. We facilitate conversations among teams, helping them cultivate and craft stories that inform, persuade and motivate.
