INTENSIVE COMMUNICATION SKILL-BUILDING FOR EXECUTIVES

For Executives and Corporate leaders in particular, advancing ideas in the most powerful and persuasive light is crucial. The question for most executives is not whether it would be valuable to develop and hone these skills, but when.

This 1-day intensive program combines event specific consulting with personal skill-building. Group size is limited to 8 participants, and may consist of an intact team. Individuals work with a high-priority project, event, or issue. This approach enables the individual or team to leverage their time in several important ways. A Cor consultant will assist each participant in developing the communications aspects of their work, and facilitate group feedback and input when appropriate.

In parallel process, three key skill areas will also be advanced:

• Behavioral/physical issues such as motivating confidence and energy
• Content issues such as clarity and memorable impact of key information
• Interaction issues including dealing with listener resistance and challenges

In the course of the day session, high return areas for skill-building will be targeted.

A follow-up support plan will be determined for each participant.

SPOKESPERSON TRAINING
Public Relations, Press, and Media

A company is as strong as its perception in the public eye. That perception can be powerfully influenced by an insightful statement from a high-profile executive, or a negative report placed prominently in the press.

This 1-day customized training program accommodates up to 8 individuals, and can focus on an upcoming announcement to the financial community, a press tour, trade show, product roll-out, or other corporate sponsored event. Skills are developed in three critical areas:

• Effective Communication Behaviors natural behaviors that project confidence, enthusiasm, and professionalism are strengthened, and nervous or distracting idiosyncrasies are eliminated.
• Clarification of Key Messages and Quotables after applicable listener/reader/viewer analysis, messages are practiced in various high impact forms, and tagged with appropriate images, analogies, emotion, quotables, memory hooks.
• Interaction Management spokespersons field difficult questions, respond to challenging assertions, and practice bridging the interview back to key messages non-defensively.

Spokespersons will be able to: handle interviews and conferences confidently, comfortably, and in their own natural style; use interactions skillfully as a means to forward key messages; and influence the way messages are received and reported by communicating them in quotable forms.
